Summary

This pilot study will use a pre-post design to explore the utility of using virtual simulations to provide participant education and counseling for adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors (i.e., physical activity, nutrition, smoking, alcohol use, and anxiety/distress screening) to 60 participants with chronic diseases where lifestyle management is paramount to well-being and disease control (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis). Participants will have access to the simulations through a unique password-protected link over the course of one month. Participants will complete two study visits that are 30-60 minutes in duration each. There is also one optional telephone interview with a mental health professional. The telephone interview it estimated to be 10 minutes in duration and will be audiotapes, with participants' permission. The study surveys will be administrated at baseline, immediately following the simulation use and at one-month baseline measures. The measures will assess lifestyle behaviors related to healthy eating, physical activity, emotional health, smoking behaviors and alcohol use. Measures will also assess the psycho-social constructs of intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. Finally, the usability of and satisfaction with the simulations will be explored through feedback surveys. The investigator will also seek permission to collect data from the patient's medical chart. Feedback will also be collected from four healthcare providers.

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Education Simulation

The simulations will be developed using Kognito's proprietary Conversation Platform. In this pilot study, the simulations will be a bundle of four topic-based conversations with Linda, a virtual peer with a chronic disease. The four wellness topics are: 1. Fitness \& Nutrition 2. Smoking Cessation 3. Alcohol Use 4. Distress \& Anxiety
