An Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Smartphone Application for Improving Dietary Quality Among Frail Older Adults: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Although information and communication technology (ICT) offers opportunities to address challenges, evidence among frail populations is limited. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of an ICT-based intervention incorporating an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted smartphone dietary application and group communication tools to improve dietary quality and social connection among community-dwelling older adults with frailty. Methods: A non-randomized, quasi-experimental study was conducted among 29 older adults (≥65 years) in Tokyo, Japan. Participants were assigned to the intervention (n = 11) or control (n = 18) group. The 3-month intervention included weekly photo uploads of meals via an AI-based dietary application pro
