This chatbot is intended for educational purposes and general guidance. Please do not enter sensitive personal information such as your full name, date of birth, address, insurance information, medical record numbers, or other identifying health information.
Your connection to this chatbot is encrypted in transit (HTTPS and secure WebSockets), and conversations are stored using encrypted storage on Microsoft Azure. However, there is no additional end-to-end encryption, so please avoid sharing confidential medical information.
When possible, describe your situation in general terms (for example, "a 45-year-old with Long COVID" rather than using personally identifying details).
By using this chatbot, you acknowledge that it is not a substitute for medical care or a secure patient communication platform. If you need to discuss private medical information or receive personalized medical advice, please contact your healthcare provider through an appropriate secure channel.
The Long COVID Bot is a research assistant designed to help patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers navigate the rapidly evolving Long COVID literature.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, it focuses specifically on disease processes, biomarkers, pathophysiology, and emerging treatments. It synthesizes findings across studies, identifies areas of consensus and uncertainty, and provides source citations whenever possible.
Why This Bot Is Different:
✓ Focused exclusively on Long COVID research
✓ Synthesizes findings across studies
✓ Distinguishes evidence from speculation
✓ Continuous literature updates
✓ Lightweight Swiss cloud infrastructure
✓ Energy-efficient SaaS architecture
✓ Evidence-first design with source citations
✓ Built to reduce hallucinations by sourcing from a curated research library
Important: This tool is for education and research exploration only and does not provide medical advice. This bot summarizes research but does not diagnose conditions, interpret laboratory results, or recommend specific treatments.
