TaKeAction
Chronic pain and long-term functional limitations after knee arthroplasty affect approximately 20% of patients, but timely support could improve postoperative outcomes. Today, knee arthroplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, and afterwards, postoperative care and rehabilitation therefore rely on the patient’s self-management.
TaKeAction uses an AI-supported care pathway that combines digital technologies, including the North Denmark Region’s application MineAftaler, digital communication, push notifications, and an AI chatbot. The aim is to support patients in their pre- and postoperative care by providing tailored information and digital communication, enabling the identification of patients who require in-person consultation, facilitating early intervention, and helping to prevent chronic pain and long-term functional impairments after knee arthroplasty.
