Let’s face it: most “AI healthcare assistants” out there feel like glorified FAQ bots wearing a stethoscope.
So, I built MediBot — an AI-powered medical chatbot that actually understands you, talks like a human, and doesn’t panic when you mention “headache” and “Google” in the same sentence.
What is MediBot?
MediBot is an open-source, LLM-based chatbot designed to simplify and humanize healthcare conversations. It’s not trying to be a doctor, but it is trying to make the road to one a lot smoother, smarter, and less anxiety-inducing.
Whether you’re someone with a recurring cough, a confused patient trying to make sense of medical terms, or just a curious dev testing use cases in health tech — MediBot’s your go-to sidekick.
Under the Hood:
- Built with RAG: Answers are grounded in curated medical datasets, not wild LLM guesswork.
- Ollama + LLM Flexibility: You can use it locally or hook it to OpenAI, Gemini, etc.
- Customizable UI/API: Web + mobile-ready. Built for fast deployment and user interaction.
- Contextual Memory: MediBot doesn’t forget what you said two questions ago.
- Security-conscious: Built with privacy-first logic so user data isn't casually floating in the cloud.
- Open source: Because no one should gatekeep better healthcare access.
Why I Built It:
Tired of watching people ask ChatGPT medical questions without any guardrails, I wanted to build something more reliable, transparent, and purpose-driven.
MediBot isn’t a chatbot that throws medical jargon back at you — it explains, it guides, and sometimes, it even tells you to see a real doctor (as it should).
Why You Should Check It Out:
- You’re interested in health tech, LLMs, or building real-world AI apps
- You want to contribute to a meaningful open-source project
- You believe healthcare information should be more accessible, not overwhelming

Final Thought:
If AI is going to change healthcare, it needs to start with clarity, context, and a bit of compassion. MediBot is my attempt at all three — and I’d love your feedback, issues, PRs, or just your curiosity.
Let’s build something that makes sense. Literally.
