An Adaptive Agent-Based Interface for Personalized Health Interventions

Published:17 March 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

This demo introduces a novel mHealth application with an agent-based interface designed to collect multimodal data with passive sensors native to popular wearables (e.g., Apple Watch, FitBit, and Garmin) as well as through user self-report. This mHealth application delivers personalized and adaptive multimedia content via smartphone application specifically tailored to the user in the interdependent domains of physical, cognitive, and emotional health via novel adaptive logic-based algorithms while employing behavior change techniques (e.g., goal-setting, barrier identification, etc.). A virtual human coach leads all interactions to improve adherence.
