Using Artificial Intelligence to Create an Artificially Intelligent Chatbot to Facilitate Access for Diabetes Distress and Support for Diabetes Self-management

Keywords


Diabetes distress, artificial intelligence, diabetes, eConsult

Types of Research

Clinical research

Summary

Diabetes distress (DD) has been associated with less engagement in self-management behaviors, medication adherence, and self-care activities. This study will determine the acceptability and feasibility of using an interactive health information technology system and tech-assisted clinical intervention workflows to screen and treat DD in primary care patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Significance

The development of workflows for assessing and treating DD in primary care is a necessary component for providing whole-person diabetes care.

Impact

Delivering whole-person diabetes care is recommended and includes the emotional and psychological aspects of living with diabetes.

Lessons Learned

Coming soon.
