Individual differences in views toward healthcare conversational agents: A cross-sectional survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

To date, there has been limited research on people's attitudes and design preferences with respect to conversational agents (CAs) that are used for healthcare. Individual differences in attitudes and design preferences have received particularly little attention. The purpose of this study was to gain greater insight into this topic.

Methods

We recruited American and Canadian residents through the online research platform Prolific. Participants completed a cross-sectional survey assessing demographic, personality, and health factors, as well as attitudes and design preferences with respect to healthcare CAs. Hierarchical regressions were used to determine demographic, personality, and health predictors of attitudes and design preferences.
