Chatbot coaches seniors through wrist fracture rehab
NCT ID NCT07308691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a chatbot called 'Wrist Health' that helps elderly patients (ages 60-90) recover from wrist fractures at home. The chatbot provides exercise instructions, education, and reminders, and tracks how often patients use it. Researchers want to see if using the chatbot improves recovery, satisfaction, and quality of life compared to standard care alone.
