Many Croatian cities have come up with innovative ways to provide citizens with trustworthy information about the virus and new lockdown restrictions
The official Facebook page of the City of Vinkovci is among the first in Croatia to introduce a chatbot application that interactively informs the public about the current work of the Civil Protection Staff. The chatbot was created pro bono by the Slavonian company Hero Factory, which recently created a similar program for the Croatian Institute of Public Health. The chatbot is named after what we all need at this time - Hope.
When a query is sent by the user, the chatbot responds automatically at any time, without the need for additional support of experts - as it has already been taught how to respond. The questions are answered immediately, and answers are available to all current questions related to coronavirus, the Civil Protection Staff, and e-passes.
Hope can educate citizens about symptoms, emergency numbers and passes needed for travel
Hope can also check for symptoms of the virus. All we have to do is select one of the answers provided. The chatbot also reminds us that symptoms appear between 2 and 14 days after infection. In the event that none of the symptoms develop, Hope recommends we don’t contact a physician in order to ease the load on medical staff.

When interacting with citizens, he educates people how to recognize the symptoms of the virus through assisted self-assessment. In addition, Andrija assists people in contacting relevant institutions, sending everyone to the right address and thus saving time and energy for citizens and doctors.
