Design and Usability of an Avatar-Based Learning Program to Support Diabetes Education: Quality Improvement Study in Colombia
Authors' conclusion
Immersive, avatar-based programs, delivered through smartphone, have the potential to deliver educational information that is trusted, engaging, and useful. Future work includes expansion of the curriculum, evaluation with a larger group, and exploration of the prospective role of artificial intelligence in personalizing this form of educational intervention.
