E-collection 'Chatbots and Conversational Agents'

Chatbots are Artificial Intelligence  programs (web-based or using smartphone app/messaging), which are increasingly used in particular for mental health applications (e.g. Depression and Mood Disorders), prevention and Behavior Change applications (such as Smoking Cessation or physical activity interventions).
