    Discover how an AI assistant can transform patient monitoring in physiotherapy: more engagement, fewer repetitive tasks, and better recovery for your patients.

    How an AI Assistant Revolutionizes Patient Monitoring in Physiotherapy

    Generative artificial intelligence has been experiencing rapid growth for some time now. Once reserved for technical or experimental uses, it is rapidly becoming democratized. Today, both individuals and businesses are embracing it to create new services and assist their daily lives.

    In the medical field, generative AI has already proven its effectiveness. Initially used for tasks such as audio-to-text transcription, it is now being used to help develop care protocols, analyze clinical data, and support healthcare professionals. However, one of its most promising applications remains largely underexploited: home patient monitoring.

    Why Patient Monitoring is a Major Challenge in Physiotherapy

    In physiotherapy, healing does not depend solely on in-clinic sessions. It also – and above all – relies on the patient's regularity and diligence in performing their exercises at home. Unfortunately, studies show that between 35% and 60% of patients do not perform their exercises correctly (or at all), thus slowing their progress and compromising treatment outcomes.

    This lack of diligence is often due to:

    • Forgetting or misunderstanding instructions;

    • Lack of motivation;

    • Absence of feedback or correction between sessions;

    • Pain or fear of doing it wrong.

    It is precisely at this level that an AI assistant can play a decisive role.

    Generative AI: A Powerful Tool for Patient Monitoring

    Imagine a virtual assistant, available 24/7, capable of:

    • Transmitting care protocols prescribed by the physiotherapist;

    • Explaining exercises to be performed, using videos or illustrations;

    • Answering patient questions autonomously;

    • Reminding the patient to perform their exercises;

    • Tracking progress, noting delays or omissions;

    • Identifying signs of pain or regression, and alerting the practitioner if necessary.

    This is not science fiction. This is exactly what we have developed with Markus Santé, the AI assistant designed for and with physiotherapists.

    Markus Santé: The AI Assistant Serving Both Patient and Physiotherapist

    Markus is a solution designed to relieve physiotherapists of time-consuming tasks and strengthen the therapeutic link between the practitioner and their patient.

    Here's what Markus does for you:

    Assimilates your instructions and protocols: you dictate or add your instructions, Markus integrates them immediately.

    Accompanies the patient at home: it sends exercises, reminds when to do them, and guides step-by-step.

    Communicates proactively: it asks the patient how they feel, ensures proper exercise execution, and provides advice if needed.

    Transmits your content: videos, PDF files, photos… Markus shares the right materials at the right time.

    Generates a clear report: what was done, what was missed, and observed progress.

    Alerts in case of a problem: if unusual pain or an issue is detected, you are immediately notified.

    In concrete terms, Markus acts as a true right-hand man, ready to support every physiotherapist in the continuous monitoring of their patients.
