      abstract = {This paper presents HealthSense AI, an intelligent healthcare chatbot designed to provide instant medical guidance and preliminary disease prediction based on user symptoms. The system uses a hybrid approach combining a local health knowledge database with a generative AI model (Google Gemini API). Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used to understand user queries and generate meaningful responses. The chatbot improves accessibility to healthcare guidance and reduces unnecessary hospital visits.},
