Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduced Complication Rate: A decrease in the occurrence of complications among patients using the chatbot. Reduced Readmission Rate: Fewer hospital readmissions in the intervention group within 30 days post-CABG. Improved Patient Outcomes: Measured through lower Cardiac Post-Operative Morbidity Scores (C-POMS), showing the chatbot s impact on health improvements. Timepoint: Reduced Complication Rate: A decrease in the occurrence of complications among patients using the chatbot. Reduced Readmission Rate: Fewer hospital readmissions in the intervention group within 30 days post-CABG. Improved Patient Outcomes: Measured through lower Cardiac Post-Operative Morbidity Scores (C-POMS), showing the chatbot s impact on health improvements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Completion of Chatbot Development: A functional AI- powered cardiac chatbot designed to meet CABG patient needs for postoperative care. Validated Chatbot Usability and Acceptability: Patient Satisfaction on chatbot effectiveness in delivering postoperative care support.
