Abstract (arXiv)

We describe an AI-powered chatbot to aid with health improvement by generating Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) cue texts that should reduce delay discounting. In prior studies, EFT has been shown to address maladaptive health behaviors. Those studies involved participants, working with researchers, vividly imagining future events, and writing a description that they subsequently will frequently review, to ensure a shift from an inclination towards immediate rewards. That should promote behavior change, aiding in health tasks such as treatment adherence and lifestyle modifications. The AI chatbot is designed to guide users in generating personalized EFTs, automating the current labor-intensive interview-based process. This can enhance the efficiency of EFT interventions and make them more accessible, targeting specifically those with limited educational backgrounds or communication challenges. By leveraging AI for EFT intervention, we anticipate broadened access and improved health outcomes across diverse populations
