GUIDE System Dynamically Generates Multimodal Interactions to Reduce Stress, UIST Paper
_Hao_Zhu · x · 2026-08-10
An upcoming UIST 2026 paper introduces Generative Experience, a new paradigm for digital mental health (DMH) interventions. Unlike traditional approaches that adapt content within fixed flows, the proposed GUIDE system dynamically composes both personalized content and multimodal interaction structures at runtime using rubric-guided modular components (e.g., audio, video, timers, reflective questions).
In a preregistered study with 237 participants, GUIDE significantly reduced stress (p=.02) and improved user experience (p=.04) compared to an LLM-based cognitive restructuring control. The system enabled diverse forms of reflection by dynamically shaping how support is experienced.
