Purpose: to develop and test a prototype of Chatbot (Artificial Intelligence) with the purpose of applying a questionnaire to assess depression in visually impairmed invidivuals. Methods: This project was carried out in the Innovation in Health Technology Laboratory of the Sao Paulo Federal University. The Chatbot was developed using the platform BLiP. The social demography questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiological Scale Depression (CES D) were selected to collect the essential data and to identify the presence of depression, respectively. After the development, validation tests were applied to verify the functionality and structure of the chatbot. Results: The Chatbot prototype presented an excellent flow of conversation in the tests conducted. The questionnaires were applied in a satisfactory manner during the tests, showing that it could possibly be applied to real patients with depression symptoms. Software validation tests approved the prototypes function. Conclusions: The Chatbot prototype is an affordable and easy way to apply questionnaires that can be used to identify health conditions, such as the likelihood of being depressed. The Chatbot system can record the answers so it is analyzed by health care professionals to help decide if an intervention is necessary. KEYWORDS: Artificial Intelligence; Depression; Ophthalmology; Vision Disorders.

The intricate dependence of cattle on agriculture resources for their population sustenance, which in turn, is a subsidiary source of income and supplementary insurance of people to maintain equilibrium of the social demography, mainly during collapse in crop yields. In such conditions, cattle raisers are forced to utilize alternate fodder resources from trees growing in vicinity which may lead to their over exploitation and population shrinkage. Identification and recognition of such trees is therefore necessary for population sustenance of both cattle and their fodder resources to avert imbalance in the community structure. The present paper enumerates 132 tree species as potential cattle fodder resources of Madhya Pradesh having highest cattle population in India.
