SLOWbot is a research project conducted via a collaboration between iaso health and FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler). There are now thousands of available healthy aging apps, but most don’t deliver on their promise to support a healthy aging process in people that need it the most. The neediest include the over-fifties age group, particularly those wanting to prevent the diseases of aging or whom already have a chronic disease. Even the motivated “quantified selfers” discard their health apps after only a few months. Our research aims to identify new ways to ensure adherence to a healthy lifestyle program tailored for an over fifties audience which is delivered by a chatbot. The research covers the participant onboarding process and examines barriers and issues with gathering predictive data that might inform future improved uptake and adherence as well as an increase in health literacy by the participants. The healthy lifestyle program will ultimately be delivered by our “SLOWbot” which guides the participant to make informed and enhanced health decision making, specifically around food choices (a “longevity eating plan”).
