Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are currently the leading cause of death worldwide. Accumulated evidence indicates that a healthy diet contributes significantly to health promotion and an increase in quality of life for those living with CVDs. While dietary intake management plays an integral part in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), tracking dietary intake is burdensome, resulting in measurement errors caused by the burden of manual food logging, low adherence, incomplete data, or erroneous information.

In this paper, we present a chatbot, as a conversational dietary assessment tool to help users capture their dietary intake and provide feedback to support users in understanding their dietary choices. With this chatbot, we conducted a preliminary evaluation study with 9 experts specializing in the field of CR programs or dietary behavior management, who were asked to use the chatbot to self-report their dietary intake for one week. The results show that the chatbot is easy to interact with and experts praised its simplicity and flexibility. Besides, the chatbot has shown the potential to contribute to dietary intake management.
