In this episode, Zaynab and Yassin explore how a low-cost chatbot, VWise, was developed in the UAE to combat COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. They dive into the research behind VWise, including its use of motivational interviewing techniques and conversational design to engage users on Facebook Messenger. The hosts discuss the chatbot's effectiveness in shifting perceptions about mRNA vaccines, even in a pilot study with just 33 participants. Could this simple yet powerful tool signal a future where chatbots play a key role in public health education? Tune in to find out how VWise might be paving the way for more accessible, empathetic digital health solutions.
