Project Description
The research will focus on developing a chatbot that using artificial intelligence to promote HIV testing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Once developed and adequately tested, the new chatbot (named MyTestBot) will be embedded into a social networking app selected by MSM to create an mHealth intervention to provide MSM with real-time HIV testing-related information, motivation, and behavioral skills. MyTestBot will provide culturally tailored messages to promote HIV testing in MSM that does not rely on intensive human resources to develop and maintain.
