Funding support for new project on supporting patients after total knee replacement using AI

Interdisciplinary Orthopaedics is expanding its collaboration once again and has received DKK 664,245 in funding for a new project aimed at supporting patients after total knee replacement using AI!

The project is led by Jesper Bie Larsen and Lili Worre in close collaboration between Interdisciplinary Orthopaedics, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Aalborg Universitetshospital and Aalborg University.

The goal is to develop and test a new supportive patient pathway using the citizen-facing platform MineAftaler from the North Denmark Region (Region Nordjylland), enhanced with AI developed at Aalborg University. This is yet another great example of how strong collaborations can emerge and, hopefully, help bring patient-centred practice closer to citizens’ homes.

The last months has been spent preparing the project for a pilot test in 2026. It has been an exciting process, and we are very pleased to have welcomed the Line Thane Andersen to the team. The project group and various partners have met, discussed, clarified, and developed the project with dedicated staff at Farsø Hospital, Aalborg University Hospital, and the region’s legal, IT, and communications departments.

We would like to thank everyone for your involvement so far and look forward to continuing the collaboration in 2026!

A huge thank you to the Region Nordjylland's Innovation Fund for supporting the project, and to Thomas Kampmann and Susanne Pedersen for their initial sparring.
