## AI Medical Triage & WhatsApp Integration
* Presented by: Dacey Technologies
* Goal: Enhancing patient access and workflow efficiency in private hospitals.

## Problem Statement
* **Congestion:** Private hospitals face long wait times and high patient volumes.
* **Efficiency Gap:** Manual triage consumes excessive clinical time before admission.

## The WhatsApp Triage Solution
* **Interface:** Uses WhatsApp Business API for zero-download access.
* **Workflow:** Patient scans QR → AI Bot asks symptom questions → Urgent cases flagged (Red/Yellow/Green) → Data syncs to Hospital Management System (HMS).

## Project Roadmap
* **Phase 1 (Weeks 1-3):** Design, validation, and protocol definition.
* **Phase 2 (Weeks 4-10):** Development, AI training, and HMS middleware integration.
* **Phase 3 (Weeks 11-14):** Pilot launch and full 24/7 rollout.

## Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
* **Wait Times:** Targeted 25–40% reduction.
* **Adoption:** Goal of 50% outpatient triage via the bot.
* **Satisfaction:** Expected 15% increase in patient satisfaction scores.

## Investment & Strategy
* **Estimated Cost:** $17k – $40k for development and integration.
* **Expansion:** Plans to enter Namibia, Zambia, and Botswana by late 2026.

## Risk Mitigation
* **Clinical Safety:** Strict rule-sets with mandatory human overrides.
* **Data Privacy:** End-to-end encryption and consent-based data access.
