Application of an Intelligent Continuous Care Model During Skin Expansion in Auricular Reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an innovative intelligent continuous care model delivered through a multi-platform digital network during the expansion phase of auricular reconstruction. The aim is to inform the development of future artificial intelligence-based care systems.

METHODS

In a zone-randomized design, patients were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received continuous care through a multi-platform system that included WeChat management, educational manuals, instructional videos and electronic irrigation logs. Real-time monitoring and guidance for complications was also provided. Patient satisfaction and complication data were collected through a questionnaire platform.

RESULTS

The experimental group demonstrated significantly improved knowledge comprehension and adherence (p<0.05), as well as higher treatment satisfaction and lower incidence of complications compared to the control group (p<0.05).

CONCLUSION

The multi-platform intelligent continuous care model enhances patient experience and reduces the risk of complications, highlighting the transformative potential of modern communication technology in healthcare. The successful implementation offers valuable insights into the design of more efficient artificial intelligence care systems, signaling a shift toward the integration of technology into healthcare practice.
