To prevent and reduce inactivity, the World Health Organization (WHO) designed a global plan called Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030 (GAPPA) in 2017. In this plan and according to the state of physical activity in 2016, actions and goals were set. However, the world is facing a COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected various aspects of lifestyle, including physical activity. Some studies have shown that physical activity reduced during the pandemic. For this reason, the WHO should review the GAPPA and update goals and actions according to the state of physical activity in 2020.
The use of digital technologies such as telemedicine, patient tracking systems, and patient registration systems in health care has been a topic of focus in recent years. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology will facilitate the work of patients and healthcare professionals in this field. Artificial intelligence is defined as a technology that emerged with the question of whether machines can think and now enables machines to produce solutions to complex problems as humans do, and to imitate the way humans think. 1 Artificial intelligence consists of components such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and expert systems, and AI-based chatbots are used in the field of health for diagnosis, screening, and treatment. In the field of health, many chatbots such as Woebot, Your.MD, HealthTap, Cancer Chatbot, VitaminBot, Babylon Health, Safedrugbot, and Ada Health are used for various purposes.
