This paper presents a health promotion system for people with limited health literacy using robot partners. Nowadays, in order to avoid any serious illnesses or overweight health promotion has become an extremely crucial task. For the sake of rising health care intervention, health education should be provided to improve people`s motivation to exercise. In the proposed health promotion system, the content of quizzes provided by robot partner is produced based on a theory of the transtheoretical model. The quiz categories are selected by a stochastic model and they are sequentially updated through the human-robot interaction. In this paper, we introduce an experimental result of a questionnaire to discuss the effectiveness of the proposed system.
