DocTalkBN: A Novel Dataset of Expert Telemedicine Conversations in Bengali

DocTalkBN is a large-scale multimodal dataset of authentic expert telemedicine conversations in Bengali, comprising 557.63 hours of paired audio and text, 1,515 multi-turn patient calls, and 10,274 host–doctor question–answer exchanges across 26 medical specialties. The dataset contains 1.7 million tokens and preserves the spontaneity and contextual richness of real medical interactions in a low-resource language. Three downstream tasks—medical triage classification, advice safety evaluation, and medical named entity recognition—are constructed to benchmark large language models and encoder-based baselines, demonstrating DocTalkBN’s practical usefulness for clinically grounded reasoning.
