About Agent Santé

Agent Santé helps people find official Québec health information when the Info-Santé 811 line is very busy.

Why this site

At peak times, the wait at 811 can be long. Many questions are about general information: where to go, how to book an appointment, who can get a free vaccine. This information is already on the official sites, but it is sometimes hard to find.

Agent Santé answers these questions from the pages of Québec.ca, Santé Québec, INSPQ and the documents of the Ministère de la Santé. Every answer gives the link to its source, so you can check it.

What Agent Santé does not do

Agent Santé does not make a diagnosis, does not recommend a treatment and does not give a medication dose. If an answer contains personal medical advice, it is removed and the agent must rewrite it. For advice on your situation, call Info-Santé at 811. In an emergency, call 911.

How it works

The agents run on CloudRaker Run. A welcome agent understands your question and passes it to a specialized agent (respiratory viruses, vaccination, seniors, mental health and others). Each agent exists in French and in English.

Before your message goes to the agents, Decision-machine-1, a CloudRaker model hosted in Montréal, checks that it contains no personal information. It also checks that the reply contains no personal medical advice.
