Feasibility and Acceptability of an LLM-based Chatbot for Family Caregivers: Evaluation Study (NCT07280650)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of using the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot mobile application (an LLM-based Chatbot) to support the well-being of informal care partners of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia, or Huntington disease (HD). Over an 8-week intervention period, up to 60 care partners will engage with the application (app), spending four weeks focusing on physical health and four weeks focusing on mental health. Participants will complete surveys at the midpoint and end of the intervention period. Participants will also complete a semi-structured interview to discuss participants experience using an LLM-based Chatbot. The study team hypothesizes that care partners will find the chatbot acceptable and feasible to use in daily life, and that there will be low attrition and high completion rates of the study.
