如何建立聊天机器人与用户间的数字治疗联盟：关系线索的作用

o address the issue of users’ poor engagement, researchers have recently integrated the therapeutic alliance (TA) concept with Internet-based self-help interventions (ISIs). Digital therapeutic alliance (DTA) are TAs established within a digital environment. A chatbot can replicate human guidance due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, and it is easier to establish relationships with users than traditional ISIs. Furthermore, it may enhance DTA through amiability, respectfulness, attentiveness, encouragement, sincere comprehension, and mutual trust, which presents a novel solution to this issue. Future research can investigate DTA from the perspectives of affecting factors, technology iteration of ISIs, measurement specification, and experimental manipulation.
