Digital approaches in the nutritional prevention and management of chronic dise...
Guerreiro, Mara Pereira; Félix, Isa Brito; Camolas, José Miguel LopesChronic diseases are a global epidemic, responsible for the majority of deaths worldwide. Diet and nutrition play an important role in preventing and managing high-burden chronic diseases. Digital technology became popular for supporting the nutrition care process and enhancing dietary self-management through interventions targeting persons at risk or living with chronic disease, health care professionals or bo...
Promoting physical activity in older adults with type 2 diabetes via an anthrop...
Pimenta, Nuno; Félix, Isa Brito; Monteiro, Diogo; Marques, Marta Moreira; Guerreiro, Mara PereiraIntroduction: Anthropomorphic conversational agents (ACA) are a promising digital tool to support self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), albeit little explored. There is a dearth of literature on the detailed content of these interventions, which may limit effectiveness and replication. Our aim is to describe the development of an evidence and theory-based intervention to improve physical activity in older a...

Conversational agents for health and well-being across the life course: protoco...
Guerreiro, Mara Pereira; Angelini, Leonardo; Henriques, Helga Rafael; Kamali, Mira El; Baixinho, Cristina; Balsa, João; Félix, Isa britoBackground: Conversational agents, which we defined as computer programs that are designed to simulate two-way human conversation by using language and are potentially supplemented with nonlanguage modalities, offer promising avenues for health interventions for different populations across the life course. There is a lack of open-access and user-friendly resources for identifying research trends and gaps and p...

Balsa, João; Félix, Isa; Cláudio, Ana Paula; Carmo, Maria Beatriz; Silva, Isabel Costa e; Guerreiro, Ana; Guedes, Maria; Henriques, AdrianaIn the context of the VASelfCare project, we developed an application prototype of an intelligent anthropomorphic virtual assistant. Designed as a relational agent, the virtual assistant has the role of supporting older people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) in medication adherence and lifestyle changes. Our paper has two goals: describing the essentials of this prototype, and reporting on usability evaluat...
