Summary
Conversational analytics via perioperative chatbots offer insights into patient outcomes after joint replacement surgery. Chatbot query topics and engagement levels correlate with recovery, aiding in predicting and managing patient needs.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Digital Health
- Patient Outcomes Research
Background:
- Conversational analytics in orthopaedic surgery can reveal patient experiences and outcomes.
- This study explored patient interactions with a perioperative chatbot following joint replacement surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess patient engagement with a perioperative chatbot.
- To determine if chatbot query topics correlate with outcomes after total knee or hip arthroplasty.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 1338 patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty (2020-2022).
- Recorded chatbot message volume and topics.
- Statistical analysis (t-tests, chi-squared, regressions) to link engagement/topics with demographics and outcomes.
Main Results:
- Lower chatbot interaction in readmitted patients (3.9 vs 12.7 messages).
- ED visits/readmissions linked to queries about walking and pain medication weaning.
- Queries about 'exercise' correlated with no ED visits or readmissions.
Conclusions:
- Chatbot query topics and engagement are associated with patient outcomes post-arthroplasty.
- Conversational analytics can provide valuable insights into the perioperative course of joint replacement patients.

Knee Joint
1.5K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Ankle Joint
1.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
