Health chatbot Saluvo layers keyword and model checks for emergency detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A health chatbot named Saluvo, designed to assist users in over 80 languages, employs a multi-layered safety system to detect emergencies. The initial layer uses a pre-model keyword check with specific rules for benign phrases, negation, and character normalization across various languages, including Hinglish. This system, however, proved insufficient, missing 36 out of 45 emergency test cases.
