Orthochat: Innovative AI supported patient advice in Berlin

A revolutionary step in patient advice is imminent! On October 25, 2024, the brand new Ki-Chatbot Orthochat will be presented at the German Congress for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DKOU) in Berlin. This novel service, developed by orthhine form, the renowned patient information portal of the professional association for orthopedics and trauma surgery (BVOU), aims to raise advice for patients with musculoskeletal diseases to a new level.

Over 250,000 visitors per month are already looking for information on the orthhine platform, which has established itself as a trustworthy source. But now it goes one step further: With orthochate, patients can get an initial assessment of their health questions about the musculoskeletal system even at night and on weekends.

a AI-supported aid for patients

hundreds of people worldwide struggle with musculoskeletal diseases every day - and the numbers increase! PD Dr. Anna Völker from the development team reminds: "With digitization, more and more patients are looking for information online before you see a doctor." The orthochate was developed to meet these needs without replacing essential personal advice from a doctor.

"The chatbot does not offer individual diagnoses or therapy recommendations, but is an additional source of information," emphasizes Dr. Jörg Ansorg, Managing Director of the BVOU. This ensures that patients can make informed decisions instead of remaining in the unclear. This could make the first steps for correct diagnosis and treatment much easier!

technology meets medical needs

Technically speaking, orthochate uses the innovative method of the "Retrieval Augmented Generation" (RAG). This combination of artificial intelligence and an extensive, curated database enables the bot to provide precise and context -related answers. "We want to ensure that the patients receive the information they need clearly and understandably," explains Dr. David Baur. The process is very simple: user inquiries are converted into vectors, the most relevant documents are accessed from a specialized database, and then precise answers are generated. It couldn't be easier!

In addition, the idea of ​​offering medical information is a real gamechanger! Orthochat now brings medical knowledge to people in over 50 languages ​​so that patients with a migration background receive the support they need.

This is not just a technical innovation, but a step towards more equal opportunities in the healthcare system! Doctors and practice employees can now use orthochate to overcome language barriers and ensure that all patients understand and receive the necessary information.

The great discussion round about artificial intelligence in healthcare on the DKOU 2024 promises to be exciting. More than 8,000 participants will come together to discuss the revolutionary possibilities of digitization and their implementation. The motto is clear: "Want to do the future." And with orthochate, this future will be tangible!

orthhine form remains the central point of contact for information on orthopedic and trauma surgery. The platform is designed in a future -oriented manner in order to inform and support patients in the best possible way. Find out more about this groundbreaking development and more!
