Summary

Children with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) often lack access to specialty dietitians, and scalable nutritional guidance/food chaining tools are currently not available. The investigators will evaluate a web-based, clinician-supervised, generative-AI assistant that produces individualized food-chaining plans.

Develop an AI assistant that generates ≥15 allergy-safe, evidence-based chaining steps per participant and meets ≥90 % expert agreement for safety/appropriateness.

Validate the assistant against gold-standard clinician recommendations (Cohen's κ ≥ 0.80).

Test clinical impact in a three-month pilot RCT (n = 96) by comparing change in Nine-Item ARFID Screen (NIAS) scores between intervention and usual-care groups.

Hypothesis: AI-generated plans will reduce NIAS scores by ≥3 points relative to controls.

  • Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

Generative AI-based food chaining device

Our group has developed the only generative-AI tool that produces allergy-safe food-chaining recommendations, but it has not yet been clinically tested. This proposal builds on that proof of concept to evaluate its effectiveness in a broader pediatric ARFID population.
