Abstract

The global rise in population aging and the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases demand scalable, cost-effective strategies to support healthy aging.

Thus, the purpose of this study is to systematically review the characteristics, acceptability, and effectiveness of conversational agent-based interventions for lifestyle behavior modification in older adults, and to identify key design and research considerations for advancing this emerging field.
