AI agent for physiotherapists
Home Exercise Adherence Agent
Raise home program completion and catch problems before the next visit
What it does
A home exercise program only works if the patient does it, and clinicians often learn too late that they did not. When a clinician assigns a program, this agent sends it to the patient with a reminder schedule. It collects simple daily check-ins on what they did and how it felt, including pain and difficulty ratings. It first screens each check-in for red-flag symptoms, such as new numbness or severe pain; those stop reminders, tell the patient to contact the clinic and alert the clinician as urgent. It then checks completion and pain against targets. When completion drops under 50% in a week or pain rises 3 points, it sends a gentle follow-up and alerts the clinician. Before each visit it summarizes adherence and ratings. The clinician approves any program change. Edge case: red-flag symptoms always override the normal reminder flow.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Clinician assigns a home program
- Send program and reminder schedule to the patient
- Collect daily check-ins
- Is the check-in free of red-flag symptoms?If not: stop reminders, tell the patient to call the clinic and alert the clinician. Back to step 3.
- Is completion above target and pain stable?If not: send a follow-up or alert the clinician if pain rises. Back to step 3.
- Summarize adherence and ratings before the visit
- Clinician approves changes to the programThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Updated program sent to patient
How it decides
It tracks completion and pain ratings. Low completion triggers coaching messages; rising pain or red-flag words trigger a clinician alert.
- Completion under 50% in a week triggers a check-in message
- Pain up 3 or more points alerts the clinician
- Red-flag symptoms stop reminders and alert the clinic
