AI: Effect of Artıfıcıal Intellıgence Based Mobıle Vırtual Assıstant
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Aim: This study was conducted experimentally to examine the effect of artificial intelligence-based mobile virtual assistant developed for individuals with diabetes on cost, hospitalization rate, self-care and hypoglycemia.
Methods: The research is multi-stage and designed as three stages in itself. According to this; development of the mobile application in the first and second stages and adding artificial intelligence to the application as a project; In the third stage, it was planned to examine the effect of the application on the variables and scales. The data of the study were collected between June 2022 and June 2023 in the Endocrinology Polyclinic of two private hospitals in Izmir and a diabetes association where individuals with diabetes were registered. Power 0.80 was determined by using NCSS PAS statistical software from the population of the research; The minimum number of samples to be included in the study was calculated as n:122 and they were divided into two as intervention and control groups by randomization. The research sample was carried out as intervention (n:60) and control (n:60) lastly due to death and cost. Five data collection tools were used, namely "Individual Introduction Form", "Diabetes Self-Care Scale", "Hypoglycemia Confidence Scale", "Mobile Application Opinion Form" and "Cost Table". An artificial intelligence-based mobile virtual assistant application was applied to the individuals with diabetes in the intervention group, and the data were collected three times, at the 0th, 6th and 12th months, and the costs were recorded. The standard outpatient trainings, which are currently applied, continued to be given to individuals with diabetes in the control group, the data were collected twice, at the beginning (0. month) and 12. months, and the costs were recorded. In the evaluation of the data, number, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum median were calculated. Among the variables, chi-square, Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U test and t test were used.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diabetes Self-Care Scale [12 months]
The score consists of 35 items and is a 4-point Likert type, the lowest acceptable score is 92 and the highest score is 140. As the score increases, self-care increases
- Hypoglycemic Confidence Scale [12 months]
The scale consists of 9 items and is a 4-point Likert type. There is no cut-off value, the average score is used.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- hospitalization rate [12 months]
percentage
