Can I use rasa to build a decision based healthcare chatbot prototype that predicts disease on basis of symptoms?

Hey @nomanmajeed. I think it would be a very interesting use case! You could definitely use the bot to ask for user symptoms and then either do the matching or run a (for example) classifier to predict the diagnosis. However, things can get quite complicated pretty quickly because different diseases have different symptoms so you will have to be careful with how you define the questions. Keep us updated if you give it a try! 🙂
