Visioning Think Tank – Generative AI-Powered Interactive Health Interventions
The mDOT Center is excited to announce the upcoming Generative AI-Powered Interactive mHealth Interventions Invitation-Only Think Tank. This event will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2025 in Ann Arbor, MI on the campus of the University of Michigan.
New advancements in Generative AI, especially large language models (LLMs), are creating powerful opportunities for intelligent, interactive health interventions that can generate high-quality content (text, audio, image, video) with fluency and contextual awareness. In combination with emerging wearable and sensor technologies, these models can be used to engage users in natural dialogue while interpreting real-time behavioral, physiological, and environmental data. This convergence holds tremendous potential to advance more engaging and effective just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs)—an intervention approach that leverages rapidly changing information about a participant’s state and context to decide whether and how to deliver behavioral interventions in the moment.
This invitation-only Visioning Think Tank brings together leaders in behavioral science, AI, mobile health (mHealth), and human-computer interaction (HCI) to shape the next wave of innovation at the intersection of Generative AI, wearables, and JITAIs. Together, participants will envision how to develop and deploy the next generation of JITAIs that are supported by Generative AI to deliver highly engaging and effective behavioral interventions.
To showcase the current state of the field, this event will highlight emerging tools in audio and video content generation. These capabilities, while not targeting health directly, show how tools built for other domains can be translated into behavioral health while raising new questions about how to best deploy them in JITAI settings.
This Think Tank is a launch point for identifying priority use cases, exploring partnerships, and shaping a shared roadmap for how Generative AI + Wearables + JITAIs can work together to revolutionize behavioral health. Whether building platforms or applying them in practice, this forum will offer both inspiration and a foundation for profound and transformative collaboration.

Workshop Objectives:
The Think Tank will dive into the rapidly evolving intersection of Generative AI, wearable technologies, and behavioral health. Discover how these tools can unlock new ways to design just-in-time, adaptive interventions (JITAIs) that respond to individuals in the moment.
The Think Tank will engage in structured discussions to uncover the most promising use cases for Generative AI in mHealth, while examining key barriers – technical, clinical, and societal – that must be addressed to ensure responsible deployment.
The Think Tank will explore the ethical, privacy, and algorithmic challenges that arise when applying LLMs and generative models to health contexts. Gain insights into how to design systems that are transparent, equitable, and trustworthy.
The Think Tank aims to provide an open, interdisciplinary forum where researchers, technologists, and practitioners share emerging tools and methods. Participate in interactive sessions that spark new ideas and lay the groundwork for cross-domain collaboration.
A pivotal goal of the Think Tank is to develop a strategic roadmap. Work collaboratively to define a shared vision for the future of Generative AI-powered JITAIs. Identify key priorities, research gaps, and implementation pathways that can guide innovation over the next 3–5 years.
The closing session of the Think Tank will provide a platform for summarizing outcomes and contributions. Participants will share insights gained and discuss the next steps for the research community. The Think Tank aims to Build momentum beyond the event by outlining concrete next steps, forming new partnerships, and contributing to a growing community committed to advancing the science and impact of AI-driven behavioral interventions.
