1. Introduction

1.1Overview:
In today's dynamic healthcare landscape, the growing emphasis
on personal health management has underscored the need for
accessible solutions. Recognizing the challenges associated with
seeking timely advice from healthcare professionals, we are
developing an innovative Chatbot. This Chatbot provides users
with immediate access to medical consultations and facilitates
checks on MRI, all from the comfort of their homes.

1.2Motivation:
Our Chatbot is driven by the aspiration to empower users with a
wealth of knowledge on diseases and public health. The primary
motivation is to create a seamless information flow through a user-
friendly design. We aim to enhance the user experience, making
the acquisition of valuable health insights a straightforward and
enjoyable process.

1.3Objective:
The proposed Chatbot seeks to simplify and support users in
engaging with artificial intelligence for natural consultations on
medical topics. It streamlines communication for doctors and
Software Requirements Specification for A Self-Diagnosis Medical Chatbot Using AI Page 2

users, aiding in determining the necessity of a healthcare visit. The

application facilitates preliminary diagnoses, especially in the case
of an MRI, providing insights into potential medical concerns.
The goal is to offer users a comprehensive understanding of
symptoms, along with session summaries and potential medical
risks. The application operates in multiple languages, including
Arabic, ensuring accessibility to a broader audience.

1.4Aim:
Our overarching goal is to harness the potential of various
imaging modalities, spearheading advancements in disease
detection. Firstly, Chatbot acts as a catalyst for enhanced access to
medical advice among Arabic-speaking individuals, ensuring
effective communication in healthcare. Secondly, through the
integration of sophisticated AI algorithms, Chatbot strives for
unparalleled precision in self-diagnosis, enabling users to navigate
medical information with utmost accuracy. Thirdly, the tool
breaks down language barriers, prioritizing inclusivity by
providing medical content in Arabic. Moreover, Chatbot focuses
on the early detection of diseases using imaging technologies such
as MRI, CT scans, and dental X-rays. This holistic approach
contributes significantly to improved healthcare outcomes,
Software Requirements Specification for A Self-Diagnosis Medical Chatbot Using AI Page 3

marking a transformative step toward a healthier and more

informed Arabic-speaking community.
1.5Purpose:
Our project addresses the lack of accessible and trustworthy
medical resources in Arabic. Individuals in the Arab world often
struggle to find reputable websites or apps offering information in
Arabic. The existing diagnostic tools predominantly operate in
English, creating a language barrier. Our solution not only aids in
self-diagnosis but also interprets MRI scans for brain-related
conditions, contributing to improved healthcare outcomes for the
Arabic-speaking population.

1.6 Product Scope:

 The proposed self-diagnosis medical chatbot will revolutionize
healthcare accessibility for Arabic speakers through a multifaceted
approach. Firstly, users can effortlessly input their medical
symptoms in Arabic, engaging with AI algorithms that yield
accurate information and personalized recommendations. The
application's expansive database will serve as a reliable source of
medical information in Arabic, covering a spectrum of health
conditions, symptoms, treatments, and medications. The chatbot's
capabilities extend to the specialized interpretation of MRI scans,
Software Requirements Specification for A Self-Diagnosis Medical Chatbot Using AI Page 4

focusing on brain diseases like Alzheimer's and tumors, with

diagnostic support provided in Arabic.

 Ensuring a secure and personalized experience, the chatbot

incorporates user authentication, allowing individuals to create
accounts with comprehensive profiles, medical histories, and
preferences. Real-time communication is facilitated through both
text and voice interactions in Arabic, providing users with
immediate responses to their inquiries. Moreover, the system
accommodates the upload of MRI images, offering timely insights
and interpretations based on the provided scans. This
comprehensive suite of features establishes the chatbot as a
pioneering solution, fostering informed and empowered healthcare
decisions within the Arabic-speaking community.
