The service that answers questions with the new virus smartphone application starts on February 15 at 15:25
In response to the growing concern about the new coronavirus, a service that provides information on the new coronavirus through smartphone apps and the like has begun.
At the request of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, LINE, a major telecommunications application, has established an official account, "Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Information".
If you send a question through the LINE app, AI will respond to the outbreak situation and prevention method of the new coronavirus based on information from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and local governments.
According to LINE, more than 50,000 people have registered by the 14th, as they can also use a service to consult a doctor directly from the same official account.
A company that provides an application "LEBER" that allows you to consult a doctor using a smartphone has made the paid consultations free of charge for questions related to the new coronavirus.
This app allows you to enter your own symptoms while interacting with the AI in a chat, and a few minutes later you will receive a message from the actual doctor.
For free consultation, it is necessary to download the application from a dedicated URL separately from the normal application, so it will be free to accept questions about the new coronavirus until April 10th.
