Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major non-communicable disease that can lead to other complications such as nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Therefore, as a prevention, it is important to promote health literacy in the diabetes risk group. More importantly, the tool to promote health literacy in this digital era has to be fast and convenient. In this regard, "On-Wan", an artificial intelligence with a convolutional neural network functioning on Line application, was developed by the researchers to automatically process visual imagery and feedback on sugar and calorie contents in food. Objectives: The quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effectiveness of the health literacy promotion innovation for the diabetes risk group. Methods: It adopted a one-group pretest-posttest design for 36 patients in Raksukkapap clinic. Data were collected during February 1-28, 2023. The Donabedian model was used as a conceptual framework in this study. Data were collected before and after the experiment by using a questionnaire developed by the researchers. It consisted of 3 parts: (1) demographic data, (2) health literacy questions, and (3) the satisfaction of On-Wan. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics including percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired-sample t-test. Results: The results showed that the sample group had higher posttest mean scores than the pretest (p-value < 0.05) after participating in the health literacy program. The overall satisfaction of On-Wan was at a high level, 72.2% (mean = 4.68, SD. = .552). This program can be applied to prevent diabetes or other non-communicable diseases for risk groups.
