患有慢性压力的人可以通过改变生活方式来改善他们的整体健康状况。我们描述了一个计算机动画对话代理的设计和评估，该代理与综合医疗小组访问（IMGV）一起使用，以帮助慢性疼痛和抑郁症患者管理他们的压力。代理人在小组访问期间指导患者，回顾如何使用非药物技术（例如，正念、冥想、瑜伽自我按摩）。我们对154名参与者进行了一项纵向临床试验，其中干预组的患者在家中通过触摸屏平板电脑与会话代理进行互动，以加强他们在小组医疗访问中学到的东西。试验结果表明，与常规护理相比，在9周和21周后，对话代理与医疗小组访问相结合，导致患者的压力管理行为显着更积极。
Individuals with chronic stress can improve their overall wellness by making lifestyle changes. We describe the design and evaluation of a computer-animated conversational agent that is used in conjunction with Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGV) to help individuals with chronic pain and depression manage their stress. The agent coaches patients in between group visit sessions, reviewing how to manage stress using non-pharmaceutical techniques (e.g., mindfulness, meditation, yoga self-massage). We conducted a longitudinal clinical trial with 154 participants in which patients in the intervention group interacted with the conversational agent at home on a touch screen tablet to reinforce what they learned in group medical visits. Results from the trial indicate that the conversational agent, in conjunction with medical group visits, leads to significantly more positive stress management behaviors in patients compared to outcomes that arise in usual care, after 9 and 21 weeks.
