The MARVIN Chatbots to Provide Information for Different Health Conditions

A Master Research Protocol to Adapt and Evaluate an Artificial Intelligence Based Conversational Agent to Provide Information for Different Health Conditions: the MARVIN Chatbots

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This research is a continuation of a usability study with the MARVIN chatbot. The investigators aim to adapt the MARVIN chatbot to open it to other health domains (e.g. breast cancer) and populations (e.g. pharmacists). Therefore, this protocol constitutes a master research protocol that will englobe different research projects with individual chatbots. The investigators adopt an adaptive platform trial design, which will allow flexibility in handling multiple interventions adapted to different populations while retaining the characteristics of a platform trial design allowing early withdrawal of ineffective trial arms based on interim data (implementation outcomes) and introduction of new trial arms.
