Efficacy of Digital CBT-I Utilizing Embodied Artificial Intelligence Agent in Virtual Reality

Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a virtually embodied artificial intelligence (AI) agent delivered via VR-enhanced digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) can improve insomnia outcomes and treatment adherence in adults with insomnia. The main questions it aims to answer are: \- Does VR-enhanced dCBT-I with an embodied AI agent lead to greater improvements in insomnia symptoms compared to app-based dCBT-I with an AI chatbot at post-intervention and 3-month follow-up? Researchers will compare VR-enhanced dCBT-I with an embodied AI agent to app-based dCBT-I with an AI chatbot to see if the VR-enhanced intervention results in significantly improved clinical outcomes and adherence. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the VR-enhanced AI agent intervention group or the app-based AI chatbot control group * Complete a digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) program with either a virtually embodied AI agent (VR-based) or a chatbot-based application * Undergo assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up
