People with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and dementia are known to have difficulties in language and communication. This paper presents initial testing of an artificial conversational agent, called Harlie. Harlie runs on a smartphone and is able to converse with the user on a variety of topics. A description of the application and a sample dialog are provided to illustrate the various roles chat-bots can play in the management of neurological conditions. Harlie can be used for measuring voice and communication outcomes during the daily life of the user, and for gaining information about challenges encountered. Moreover, it is anticipated that she may also have an educational and support role.
众所周知，患有帕金森病和痴呆症等神经系统疾病的人在语言和沟通方面存在困难。本文介绍了对一个名为Harlie的人工对话代理的初步测试。Harlie运行在智能手机上，能够就各种话题与用户进行对话。提供了该应用程序的描述和一个示例对话，以说明聊天机器人在神经系统疾病管理中可以发挥的各种作用。Harlie可用于在用户日常生活中测量语音和沟通结果，以及获取有关遇到的挑战的信息。此外，预计它还可能具有教育和支持作用。
