| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The proposed novel LLM-powered agentic workflow aims to provide personalized nutrition coaching for individuals with cardiometabolic conditions by addressing diverse barriers. Leveraging behavioral science principles, the system maps nutrition-related barriers to evidence-based strategies and uses two LLM agents to probe for and identify root causes of dietary struggles, then deliver tailored tactics. A user study demonstrated the system’s ability to accurately identify barriers and provide personalized guidance, while a large-scale simulation study evaluated its performance across various scenarios. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper introduces an innovative approach that helps people with cardiometabolic conditions make healthy food choices. The system uses artificial intelligence to understand why someone is having trouble eating well and provides personalized advice to overcome those challenges. By talking to patients in their own language, the AI coach can help them develop sustainable habits that improve their health. |
