A SPEECH-BASED CONVERSATIONAL AGENT LIFE COACH
The goal of this project was to develop a speech-based conversational agent life coach for smartphones that serves the adult non-clinical populations as a life coach for goal achievement.
Despite its importance, there is an important reluctance to seek help to improve well-being due to attitudinal (e.g. fear of stigmatization) and financial barriers.
The project contributes to universalize access to validated resources for well-being improvement by enabling some of the most advanced yet affordable and available emerging communication technologies for this function that are free from these barriers.
