AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing for Chronic Disease
(AIM-PC Trial)
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether participants must stop taking their current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing Training for chronic disease?
Motivational interviewing (MI) has been shown to be effective in helping people change behaviors, such as quitting smoking or managing chronic diseases. Studies suggest that using AI to assist in MI, like through chatbots or natural language processing, can make the process more efficient and accessible, potentially improving outcomes by providing personalized support.12345
Is AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing safe for humans?
How does AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing differ from other treatments for chronic disease?
AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing is unique because it uses artificial intelligence to enhance motivational interviewing, a technique that helps people find their own reasons for making health changes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on human counselors, this approach can use AI to analyze and respond to patient language, potentially making it more accessible and efficient.12358
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study will examine the impact of training primary care providers (PCPs) in motivational interviewing (MI) using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment the training process. MI is a patient-centered approach to engaging patients in their own care. There will be a control group and two intervention groups, with the intervention groups receiving a different amount of MI training. The hypothesis is that the AI-augmented MI training will result in improved patient outcomes, improved clinician wellbeing, and reduced behavioral manifestation of clinician biases. This mixed-methods project will also collect qualitative data from structured interviews and focus groups with participating PCPs to examine perceived facilitators and barriers to the use of the MI approach in primary care.
