Chatbots and Conversational Agents
Chatbots are Artificial Intelligence programs (web-based or using smartphone app/messaging), which are increasingly used in particular for mental health applications (e.g. Depression and Mood Disorders), prevention and Behavior Change applications (such as Smoking Cessation or physical activity interventions). They are based on text-only exchanges between the client and an intelligent software which mimics a coach or therapist.
