# Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Telemedicine Triage:
## 5 Discussion  
The use of low-cost devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and chatbots to detect COVID-19 has been identified as a promising approach in the fight against the pandemic. This approach was highlighted in the article written by [PERSON] et al. [26]. By incorporating data from low-cost monitor devices for coronal temperature and oxygen saturation, the chatbot can provide more accurate and personalized recommendations for users. Furthermore, the use of AI algorithms allows chatbots to analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns and trends in COVID-19 cases, potentially allowing for earlier detection and containment of outbreaks. The article raises important ethical concerns related to the use of chatbots in healthcare. The authors argue that the use of chatbots in healthcare should be guided by ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. They emphasize the need for transparency, accountability, and user privacy in the development and deployment of chatbots. Therefore, while the use of low-cost devices, AI, and chatbots to detect COVID-19 is a promising approach, it is essential to ensure that ethical principles guide their development and deployment. This requires careful consideration of the potential benefits and harms associated with their use and a commitment to transparency, accountability, and user privacy. By prioritizing ethical considerations in the development and deployment of chatbots, we can maximize their potential to improve healthcare outcomes and contribute to the fight against COVID-19. While [27] focuses on a chatbot-based telehealth service designed for post-COVID-19 care. This chatbot, named Medbot, uses conversational artificial intelligence to provide patients with a variety of services, including health consultations, medication reminders, and symptom tracking. Medbot also has the ability to refer patients to a human doctor if necessary. Unlike our approach, Medbot does not use a low-cost monitor device to measure vital signs. However, the article highlights the potential of chatbots and AI to provide post-COVID-19 care remotely, increasing healthcare access and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. Both the platform presented in this article and Medbot demonstrate the potential of artificial intelligence to improve healthcare delivery, but they focus on different aspects of healthcare and use different approaches. In [28], the authors explore how digital triage can be used to manage population health during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in terms of preventing unnecessary visits to healthcare facilities and reducing the burden on healthcare providers. The authors discuss various digital triage tools that have been developed and implemented during the pandemic, such as online symptom checkers, chatbots, and telemedicine platforms. They also highlight the benefits of digital triage, such as increased efficiency, improved patient satisfaction, and better allocation of healthcare resources. The article provides valuable insights into the potential of digital technologies to transform healthcare delivery and improve population health management, especially in the context of a global pandemic. This research is in line with the recommendations made in the article, which emphasizes the importance of digital solutions, such as telemedicine and remote monitoring, to manage population health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the article and the previous answer suggest that the use of technology, specifically artificial intelligence, can play a crucial role in screening and triaging patients, thus reducing the burden on healthcare systems and minimizing exposure to infectious diseases. Ref. [29] discusses various technologies, including IoT, AI, robotics, and blockchain, that can be used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The web application and low-cost device for monitoring vital signs described are examples of how IoT and AI can be used to detect and diagnose COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.
