Randomized trial of two artificial intelligence coaching interventions to increase physical activity in cancer survivors

A. Hassoon, Y. Baig, et al.

This innovative study by Ahmed Hassoon and colleagues delves into the impact of AI coaching on increasing physical activity among obese cancer survivors. It reveals that voice-assisted AI coaching significantly outperformed traditional methods, opening doors for more personalized fitness solutions in healthcare.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of two AI-based coaching interventions in increasing physical activity among overweight or obese, physically inactive cancer survivors. A three-arm randomized controlled trial compared voice-assisted AI coaching (MyCoach), autonomous AI text message coaching (SmartText), and a control group receiving health information. The primary outcome was change in mean steps per day. MyCoach significantly increased steps compared to both the control and SmartText groups. AI-based voice-assisted coaching shows promise for scalable, individualized physical activity coaching in this population, warranting further research in broader populations.
