Table 2.

Proposed recommendations for developing digital health content using ChatGPT and a summary of considerations for using this tool.

Step Task Consideration
1 Determine target behavior
  • Previous research

  • Needs of the target population

2 Ground in behavior change theory
  • Stage of readiness of participants

  • Needs of the population group

3 Design the intervention structure
  • Web or mobile based

  • Length of the intervention

  • Amount of content to be delivered in each bout (ie, how many words, characters, or pages of content to be delivered)

  • Use co-design or other frameworks to ensure that the intervention aligns with the needs of the target population

4 Input intervention structure and behavior change constructs into ChatGPT
  • Structure prompt to input into ChatGPT (considering instruction, context, input data, and output indicator)

  • Iteratively adapt prompts based on desired output

  • Order in which relevant information relating to each construct is delivered, if not predefined by the literature

5 Revise the output of ChatGPT
  • Refer outputs to previous literature to ensure accuracy

  • Confirm whether references used by ChatGPT are accurate

6 Customize the content to be delivered
  • Layout and design of content

  • Images or graphics to supplement text output

  • User experience and design of the intervention platform
