Artificial Intelligence and obesity: exploring the efficacy of NexGen prompt generator and AI chatbot in promoting weight loss in healthy obese adults / Rose Mylia Reezal ... [et al.].

Obesity management demands scalable and personalized approaches. This study evaluates a novel AI-driven framework, NExGEN-ChatGPT, integrating dietary and exercise guidance for obese adults. By analyzing pre-post outcomes and adherence patterns over three months, this research addresses gaps in cost-effective, scalable, and personalized interventions compared to traditional methods. [1,2]. A one-group pre-post pilot design assessed NExGEN-ChatGPT feasibility in weight management. 44 obese adults (BMI: 27.5–32.4 kg·m-2) [3] from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, participated. Dietary adherence was tracked via chat-logged food records analyzed with Nutritionist Pro™, while exercise adherence used metabolic equivalents from accelerometers. Eligibility ensured no severe medical conditions or recent weight loss. Adherence data were scored weekly for analysis.
