Overall objective

What is the overall objective of the human-AI system?

How do the human and AI collaborate and support each other (interdependence)?

To identify and remove any barriers that prohibit the patient from achieving a sustainable change in life style.

Secondly to find a personalized approach to achieve this life style change that addresses the preferences and objectives of the patient combined with that what is required to improve their health.

Two objectives/systems:

- One to support the doctor by monitoring and prioritizing patients for consults.

- The other to support the patient in signaling if change is needed and offer insight into glucose levels over time and possibly give advice on this.

 

“Long-lasting, successful, appropriate behavior change in an individual with low SES and low health literacy, lasting longer than 3 months”

Accessibility

(Decrease in) workload

Simpifying hand-over

General goals: lifestyle advice, interventions at the right moment in time, connect with motivation (“aansluiten bij drijfveren”), improving/learning what works, revisiting over time, personalization (“knoppen vinden om aan te draaien”)

Patient: positive interaction, interesting & meaningful interaction, trust relationship, engage patient power (“aanbreken patiëntenkracht”), rewards (but which ones?), demystification

Zorgverlener (consulterend): advice on motivating patient, diagnosis

Researcher: collect data and make it available

Functions

 

What are the functions of the AI-module(s)?

What does it actually do?

What are its inputs, what are its outputs?

- Assist the coach to make burdens/barriers explicit through adaptive/context-aware questions over time to the patient.

- To assist the coach during the consult with pointers what could be personal barriers/objections towards certain life style changes.

- To provide friends/family with insights into the patients if allowed to involve them in the patient's required life style changes.

- To assist the patient in overcoming their barriers towards a sustainable life style change by giving actionable advice (e.g., to join certain social apps, find a walking-buddy, etc.).

- Nudge the patient when they should do or omit something that is tailored to their preferences, capabilities and objectives, and the recognition that these change over time.

- Together with patient and coach set objectives to achieve.

 

- To MD: To monitor patients physiological data and through questionnaires.

- To MD: To provide summary data on a patient.

- To MD: To prioritize patients for a general practitioner or MD that could benefit or are in need of a consult.

- To MD: To provide an overview of preferences and tried interventions by the patient.

- To MD: Provide a list of patients with a risk value/probability.

- To MD: To accept a patient evaluation from an MD.

- To Patient: To measure certain physiological values at the patient.

- To Patient: To measure performed actions by the patient.

- To Patient: To provide questionnaires to assess the patient's current condition and preferences.

- To Patient: To keep an overview of already tried interventions.

- To Patient: To provide alerts, current risk value and conclusion/assessement of progress.

- To Patient: To offer personalized advice about interventions.

- To Patient: To provide insight and explanation about the patient, offered advice and risk.

  • Quantify health
  • Provide insight in progress
  • Unearth individual motivations
  • Continuous improvement
  • Adapting to needs
  • Not just medical data

Interaction

How do you expect the human to interact with these AI-functions? Does the human provide any input? (just a (high-level) description of interaction(s) is fine, e.g. “Actor A provides feedback in the form of tags”)

- Chat bot for interactive/adaptive questionnaires with the patient.

- Personalized compliments to keep patient motivated.

- The 'new nudging'; a way of notifying the patient that they should do something or omit something in a way that is natural and non-obtrusive.

- Gamification, potentially adapted to the patient's profile (emphasize competitiveness or coooperation for instance).

Towards the patient to be always available and super personal.
