Literature Review:

1. A Chatbot for Psychiatric Counselling in Mental Healthcare Service Based on Emotional Dialogue
Analysis and Sentence Generation:

There are early studies to attempt users for psychiatric counselling with chatbot. They
lead to changes in drinking habit based on intervention approach via chat bot. The
application does not consider the user's psychiatric status through the conversations,
continuous user monitoring, and ethical judgment in the intervention. 

2. Chatbots meet eHealth: automat zing healthcare:

The aim of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of novel human-machine interaction
paradigms for eHealth applications. In particular, we propose to replace usual human-machine
interaction mechanisms with an approach that leverages a chat-bot program, opportunely designed
and trained in order to act and interact with patients as a human being.

3. A Chatbot-supported Smart Wireless Interactive Healthcare System for Weight Control and Health
Promotion:
People who are overweight and obese have a greater risk of developing serious
diseases and health conditions. A steadily increasing trend of obesity is not only limited
to developed countries, but to developing nations as well. As smartphones have rapidly
gained mainstream popularity, mobile applications (apps) are used in public health as
intervention to keep track of diets, activity as well as weight, which is deemed more
accurate than relying on user's self-report measure, for the sake of weight management.

4. A Tool of Conversation: Chatbot

Chatbot is widely popular now-a-days and catching speed as an application of computer
communication. Some programs respond intelligently like human. This type of program is called a
Chatbot. This paper addresses the design and implementation of a Chatbot system. We will also
study another application where Chatbots could be useful and techniques used while designing a
Chatbot.

5. Chatbot Application Using Expert System:

A Chatbot is a computer program which conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods.
Chatbots are typically used in dialog systems for various practical purposes including customer
service or information acquisition. Many of the chatbots today are not efficient in producing the
required results quickly. This project aims to build a chatbot aka Rattata that quickly responds to a
given input query.
