Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming digital behaviour change interventions (DBCIs), yet many researchers struggle to differentiate real AI from buzzwords. How are these technologies truly being applied in behavioural medicine? And what does this mean for your research? Join us for an engaging webinar where we break down findings from a published scoping review of 23 AI-powered DBCIs. We will explore how AI is used in cardiometabolic health, lifestyle interventions, and personalised coaching—highlighting key methodologies, challenges, and opportunities for future research. This session is designed for researchers looking to navigate the AI landscape, understand its research implications, and uncover opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Whether you are curious about AI’s role in behaviour change or looking to integrate it into your own work, this webinar will provide valuable insights and practical takeaways. Don’t miss this chance to gain clarity, ask questions, and connect with an expert in the field!
