Digital employees call patients on the follow-up schedule, collecting recovery, medication and scale information item by item and writing results with the patient's own words into the follow-up sheet. Incomplete or abnormal cases go to clinicians for review.

Modified Rankin Scale
Example: mRS scale assessment

mRS 0–6, graded on what was actually said

The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is the most widely used measure of functional outcome after stroke. The digital employee asks seven functional questions one by one, then grades according to the scale.

Sufficient information: exact score Insufficient information: score range, sent for human review
Three outcomes

Score when possible; say so when not

Not every call yields complete information. When it falls short, a range is given and sent for human review, with no guesswork scoring.

Exact score
5

The family says the patient's left limbs can't move and the patient can't sit in a wheelchair. They can't provide care at home, and the patient has been moved to a nursing facility.

Bedridden and needing constant care: meets the criteria for a score of 5.

Written directly to the follow-up sheet
Score range · Needs review
1–3

The family says the patient's hearing has declined and responses are slow, but the patient goes for a walk every morning. Key functional items weren't clarified, so a 1, 2 or 3 can't be distinguished.

Information still needed
  • · Whether dressing, eating and toileting need assistance
  • · Whether shopping, cooking and managing medication need assistance
  • · How much slowed responses affect daily independence
Sent to a follow-up nurse to ask again
Not assessable
—

The call only got as far as identity confirmation, with no functional information obtained.

Missing items noted in the result: whether the patient is alive, residual symptoms, walking and self-care.

No forced score; reason noted

AIHello, this is the Hospital patient follow-up team. Am I speaking with Name?

PatientAll fine.
ScoreNo symptoms at all0
  1. 01De-identified before scoringNames, forms of address, phone numbers and hospital names are replaced with placeholders, so the scoring model only sees the conversation and cannot identify the patient.
  2. 02Encrypted at restPhone numbers and transcripts are stored encrypted and masked in the UI according to role.
  3. 03Traceable scoresEach score carries the model version, rule version and an input digest, so the same conversation reproduces the same result.
  4. 04Quotes as evidenceEvery score includes the patient's or family's own words, so nurses don't need to replay the full recording when reviewing.
