Abstract

In this paper we describe a new approach to computer-based health promotion, based on a conversational model. We base our model on a collection of human-human email dialogues concerning healthy nutrition. Our system uses a database of tips and small pieces of advice, organised so that support for the advice, and arguments against the advice may be explored. The technical framework and initial evaluation results are described.
