Multimodal Interactive Assistant (MIA) - Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
Collecting patient feedback is essential for evaluating medical treatments. One valuable method is using Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) questionnaires that capture patients’ experiences before and after care. Yet, challenges like language barriers, reading difficulties, or low motivation can prevent many from completing them, especially those from disadvantaged groups. The MIA-PROM project addresses this issue by developing a Multimodal Interactive Assistant (MIA) featuring a virtual and a physical assistant agent that guides patients through PROM questionnaires, explaining terms, answering questions, and encouraging completion in an accessible and engaging way. The project is a collaboration between four academic, industrial, and clinical partners and has a duration of 40 months. Our main contributions to the project were the development and integration of the virtual avatar assistant in the system, UX evaluation, and data analysis.
