Description
Summary:This paper introduces an artificial intelligence (AI) interactive system featuring a self-growing memory network designed to enhance self-efficacy, reduce loneliness, and maintain social interaction among the elderly. The system dynamically analyzes and processes user-written diaries, generating empathic and personalized responses tailored to each individual. The system architecture includes an experience extraction model, a self-growing memory network that provides a contextual understanding of the user’s daily life, a chat agent, and a feedback loop that adaptively learns the user’s behavioral patterns and emotional states. By drawing on both successful and challenging experiences, the system crafts responses that reinforce the self-efficacy of the user, fostering a sense of accomplishment and engagement. This approach improves the psychological well-being of elderly users and promotes their mental health and overall quality of life through consistent interaction. To validate our proposed method, we developed a diary application to facilitate user interaction and collect diary entries. Over time, the system’s capacity to learn and adapt further refines the user experience, suggesting that AI-driven solutions hold significant potential for mitigating the effects of declining self-efficacy on mental health and social interactions. With the proposed system, we achieve an average system usability scale score of 77.3 (SD = 5.4) and a general self-efficacy scale score of 34.2 (SD = 3.5).
