DUBAI: United Arab Emirates (UAE) Health Ministry is showcasing a number of smart services at GITEX Technology Week 2021, including the issuing of birth certificates using WhatsApp.
According to the official news agency of the UAE, the new service aims to enrich customer experiences and improve communication channels with the public using a smooth and simplified methodology based on advanced systems and international best practices.
The new WhatsApp service is part of a package of services being showcased at GITEX Technology Week, running from October 17 to 21 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The new feature relies on artificial intelligence techniques to respond to customer inquiries through the “virtual assistant”, which can learn and comprehend their needs based on their inquiries.
The virtual assistant can also analyze and evaluate customer needs according to the available data, then make the necessary decision to answer and respond accurately to their inquiries and complete transactions conveniently.
It is also able to distinguish registered users and interact with the customer based upon the information provided, retrieve stored data from the user’s profile and end the conversation in an interactive manner.
