Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the use of generative AI to create personalised health plans in preventive healthcare.
  • Implemented a digital assistant using a multi-agent framework
  • Conducted a pilot study with 20 residents and 7 clinicians
  • Collected user feedback on satisfaction and concerns with health plans
  • Residents rated personalisation significantly positively (p=0.003)
  • Clinicians showed high acceptance rates across success metrics (p<0.05)
  • Positive sentiment observed for diet, exercise, and features, with significant metrics highlighted (p=6e-06)

Abstract

The workforce shortages caused by aging populations demand a transition from reactive to preventive healthcare strategies. Generative Artificial Intelligence offers a promising solution through the use of agents that can generate personalised guidance. We implement a digital assistant powered by a multi-agent framework that generates and refines personalised health plans based on user interactions. A pilot study with a cohort of 20 residents and 7 clinicians revealed positive user acceptance. Both groups rated four success metrics significantly above neutral satisfaction levels (p values: <0.05). The majority of residents valued the personalisation (p value: 0.003), appreciated the level of granularity (p value: 0.0003), and did not express major concerns about the recommended plans (p value: 0.941). More than 50% of the collected feedback reflected a positive sentiment on the personalised diet (p value: 0.110), personalised exercise (p value: 0.003), and general features (p value: 6e-06). This pilot study highlights the potential of AI-driven digital assistants in supporting preventive healthcare programmes.
