Clinical Scorecard: Feasibility Study Protocol for PROMBot-HSM-AF: A Chatbot-Driven Approach to Gather Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionAtrial Fibrillation (AF)
Key MechanismsChatbot-driven remote patient monitoring to gather patient-reported outcomes post-ablation.
Target PopulationPatients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Care SettingTertiary hospital post-ablation follow-up.

Key Highlights

  • AF is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Catheter ablation is increasingly used as first-line therapy for AF.
  • 15% to 20% of patients require reassessment in the first month post-ablation.
  • PROMBot-HSM-AF aims to enhance patient engagement and monitoring.
  • Study evaluates feasibility, usability, and acceptability of chatbot intervention.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • AF diagnosis should consider associated cardiovascular comorbidities.

Management

  • Catheter ablation is recommended for selected patients with AF.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Remote patient monitoring may improve continuity of care.

Risks

  • AF is linked to increased risk of stroke and all-cause mortality.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients undergoing AF catheter ablation at Santa Marta Hospital.

Chatbot platform aims to systematically collect patient-reported outcomes.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Incorporate patient-reported outcome measures into follow-up care.
  • Utilize digital platforms for patient engagement and monitoring.
  • Ensure multidisciplinary collaboration for effective RPM implementation.
