Effectiveness of Using a Chatbot to Promote Adherence to Home Physiotherapy

A Chatbot oriented to virtually assist patients in a physiotherapy treatment has been designed and developed to interact with patients with musculoskeletal disorders in need for domiciliary rehabilitation. The tool has been designed to promote adherence to rehabilitation, what in turn may have an impact on clinical outcome. A randomized clinical trial involving patients undergoing total knee replacement has bee designed to determine the applicability of the proposal. The participants will be assigned into exerimental group (intervention with the software tool) or control group (standard care).
