Towards personalizing participation in health studies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

There is substantial evidence on the relevant factors that motivate participation in human subject studies and the expectations of participants when sharing their health data for research. However, most human subject studies focus on participant eligibility and data collection, omitting even a rudimentary use of the factors that motivate participation. We illustrate an approach to use motivation to construct personalized stories and exemplify it by using a chatbot under development towards monitoring, analyzing, and influencing health study participation, engagement, and retention. Additionally, we discuss the new advantages, challenges, and unexplored avenues for research stemming from our approach.
