Exploring Obese Adults' Preferences for a Physical Activity Chatbot: Qualitative Study

Abstract

Social media chatbots could help increase obese adults' physical activity behaviour. The study aims to explore obese adults' preferences for a physical activity chatbot. Individual- and focus group interviews will be conducted in 2023. Identified preferences will inform the development of a chatbot that motivates obese adults to increase their physical activity. The interview guide was tested in a pilot interview.
