Abstract/Intro duction
With the advent of Machine Learning and NLP techniques, the quest for searching information over the Internet has been increased. Amongst wide-spread applications of online searching, the healthcare is amongst the top searched areas. For English and some other western languages, a plethora of techniques have been designed and developed to provide relevant information about electronic disease information (EDI) to the users and recommend them answers related to different diseases, their symptoms, Disease Type, Doctor Advices, and relevant doctor/consultant accordingly. Moreover, the delivery of accurate and complete information to the patients in an understandable format and language increases his/her knowledge and changes the way of thinking, which is usually referred as patient empowerment.
However, the existing medical related corpuses are in-sufficient for audience whose first language is other than English such as URDU, Arabic etc. Despite large number of URDU speakers around the world, such approaches for URDU language are either missing or inadequate. Thus, there is a need to develop a corpus and approach to provide the user’s relevant, accurate and complete information to the users in URDU language. In this Project, we aim to develop and design URDU Health Recommender System (UHRS) System mainly targeting disease information which will be comprised of five attributes that are: disease, disease type, symptoms, precautions, doctor advices, and relevant consultant/doctor. As such, providing valuable information to users for health-related issues, based on their personal health profiles, in the form of suggestions, approved by their caregivers, can significantly improve the opportunities that users have to inform themselves online about health problems and possible treatments? In this context, the proposed project contributes URDU health recommender system that will provide the user with information related to disease like disease name, disease type, symptoms, and precautions as well as information of an appropriate consultant for the disease.
