Reflection

I think that this project was fun and an interesting exercise because it made me think about how chatbots can be applicable to healthcare in non-traditional ways. It made me really think about how conversations are structured and the difficulty that goes into designing a natural conversation between a chatbot agent and a human. 

I showed my prototype to a family member who was a cancer caregiver and she liked the idea of the concept and the metaphor of a forest and support trees. She felt that the chatbot's tone should include more positive language, she had noticed that I used "ok" a lot in the chatbot responses. I would like to continue working on this project and further develop the concept because I think that it has the potential to turn into a great little project for my portfolio.
