Development and Application of an Artificial Intelligence Chatbot for Perioperative Health Education Among Thyroid Cancer Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of a newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for health education in thyroid cancer patients during the period around their surgery (the perioperative period). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the AI chatbot improve patients' readiness for discharge, quality of recovery, and active engagement in their own healthcare compared to traditional education methods? How do patients rate the usability and friendliness of this new AI chatbot system? Researchers will compare a group of patients who receive traditional health education (the control group) with a subsequent group of patients who use the new AI chatbot built on the Coze platform (the intervention group) to see if the AI chatbot leads to better recovery experiences and higher patient engagement. Participants will be asked to: Access and interact with the AI chatbot to receive personalized health guidance, ask questions, and get instant feedback during their hospital stay. Complete a set of questionnaires on the morning of their hospital discharge to evaluate their recovery quality, readiness to leave the hospital, and level of engagement in their care. Complete an extra survey regarding the usability and acceptability of the chatbot system (only for participants in the AI chatbot group).
