QSIG midday talk: Using generative AI when co-designing a digital mental health intervention

This seminar will cover the use of a range of generative AI tools when co-designing a virtual reality app for mindfulness with adults with type 2 diabetes to help them manage diabetes distress. The use of GenAI tools was integrated into an established co-design process using think aloud interviews to explore how participants use these creative digital tools and how they can be used to inform the design, function and content of a digital mental health intervention.
