Evaluating Older Adults' Engagement and Usability With AI-Driven Interventions: Randomized Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technologies that serve as assistants are growing more popular for entertainment and aiding in daily tasks. Artificial intelligence (AI) in these technologies could also be helpful to deliver interventions that assist older adults with symptoms or self-management. Personality traits may play a role in how older adults engage with AI technologies. To ensure the best intervention delivery, we must understand older adults' engagement with and usability of AI-driven technologies.

Objective

This study aimed to describe how older adults engaged with routines facilitated by a conversational AI assistant.

Methods

A randomized pilot trial was conducted for 12-weeks in adults aged 60 years or older, self-reported living alone, and having chronic musculoskeletal pain.
