Bridging the Gap: A Unified AI Assistant for Health, Education, and Well-being through Conversational AI and Personalized Support

Purpose: This study aims to develop a voice assistant that unifies academic and health management within a single digital environment. By reducing the fragmentation of existing applications, the system enhances efficiency, accessibility, and overall well-being, providing comprehensive support for lifelong learning and personal health management.

Methods: The system was built using a client-server architecture. The frontend was developed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, enhanced with immersive 3D visuals created in Spline for improved engagement. Core functionalities addressed both health and educational needs: health tools included a calorie counter, BMI calculator, and exercise advisor, while academic features offered reminders, scheduling assistance, and task automation. Speech recognition and conversational modules enabled natural, voice-based interactions. Beta testing involved target users to assess usability, responsiveness, and satisfaction, while log data measured engagement across features. Key performance metrics included average response time and user satisfaction rate.

Findings: Beta testing indicated strong performance in supporting both academic and health tasks. The system recorded an average response time of 1.5 seconds, demonstrating technical efficiency. User feedback showed an 85% satisfaction rate, with participants valuing the ease of managing daily tasks, reminders, and wellness activities through a single platform. Log analysis confirmed consistent use of both educational and health features, validating the dual-purpose design.

Implications: The system’s architecture ensures scalability and smooth interaction between components. Integrated health and academic tools provide personalized recommendations and productivity support, while interactive visuals and voice-based functionality enhance user engagement. Continuous monitoring of response time, feature reliability, and satisfaction ensures effective performance in real-world use.

Originality: This work uniquely combines academic support and personal health management into a single platform, minimizing digital fragmentation and cognitive load. By integrating conversational interactions, immersive visuals, and dual-purpose functionality, it offers a more engaging and efficient user experience, addressing both well-being and learning in one unified environment.
