Abstract
Treatment non-adherence is a major worldwide problem that results in poor health outcomes among patients with various medical conditions. A good therapist-patient therapeutic alliance and face-to-face communication are regarded as key factors in improving adherence. In this research, we propose the extension of the existing agent architecture FAtiMA to design an embodied conversational agent that plays the role of the therapist by incorporating a shared mental model (SMM) and hybrid state-based and task-based dialogue engine.
