A Chatbot (Juno) Prototype to Deploy a Behavioral Activation Intervention to Pregnant Women: Qualitative Evaluation Using a Multiple Case Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the increasing focus on perinatal care, preventive digital interventions are still scarce. Furthermore, the literature suggests that the design and development of these interventions are mainly conducted through a top-down approach that limitedly accounts for direct end user perspectives.

Objective

Building from a previous co-design study, this study aimed to qualitatively evaluate pregnant women's experiences with a chatbot (Juno) prototype designed to deploy a preventive behavioral activation intervention.

Methods

Using a multiple-case study design, the research aims to uncover similarities and differences in participants' perceptions of the chatbot while also exploring women's desires for improvement and technological advancements in chatbot-base
