A vizsgálatról
Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat
Background: Dietary management is crucial for gout, but patients often lack adequate dietary literacy. However, patients often lack adequate dietary literacy and struggle to navigate complex dietary recommendations. Gout Buddy is an autonomous AI agent to offer personalized gout education and awareness tailored to individual needs. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and user experience of Gout Buddy, in improving dietary literacy and gout management.
A teljes eredeti leírásKevesebb
Materials and methods: A two-arm RCT will randomize patients with gout to either the intervention (Gout Buddy) or control (standard care). Two study visits within 3-6 months will assess changes in dietary literacy and gout management behaviours. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with intervention arm participants and multidisciplinary care team members to explore their experiences with Gout Buddy till the point of data saturation.
Expected Outcomes: The current trial is expected to demonstrate the effectiveness of Gout Buddy in improving dietary literacy and gout management compared to standard care. Qualitative data will provide rich insights into user engagement, perceived benefits, challenges, and the feasibility of integrating the chatbot into routine gout management.
Significance: This study will provide evidence on the potential of AI chatbots to enhance gout self-management. The findings will inform the development and implementation of digital health tools for chronic disease management, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of gout.

- Intervention arm using Gout BuddyA vizsgált kezelés
Participants in the intervention group will receive usual care, including standard medical management and dietary counselling for gout. In addition, they will use the Gout Buddy chatbot (a prototype mobile application developed by HELF AI). The chatbot will be installed on their mobile phones (iOS or Android, 2020 models or newer) and requires a stable but standard mobile internet connectivity. Participants will download and enroll in Gout Buddy with the guidance of study team. The chatbot provides interactive support by allowing users to ask questions and receive daily tips and recommendations to help them manage their condition effectively. Notifications will be sent by Gout Buddy to the users' phones; these happen one to three times every day and mainly consist of daily tips related to better gout literacy and self-efficacy. The notifications are also useful conversation starters with users.
