Patient utilization of an educational chatbot to support <i>APOE</i> genotyping in the clinical setting

Engagement with a chatbot for APOE education was consistently high across all APOE result types, suggesting that patients receiving APOE genetic testing for the consideration of AAT have interest in APOE information regardless of genotype. Patient feedback was positive and constructive, supporting patient value and providing direction for changes to improve utilization. AD clinic populations may find chatbots to be an acceptable method for receiving genetic education about APOE and requesting additional support from a genetic counselor when needed.

Abstract

Engagement with a chatbot for APOE education was consistently high across all APOE result types, suggesting that patients receiving APOE genetic testing for the consideration of AAT have interest in APOE information regardless of genotype. Patient feedback was positive and constructive, supporting patient value and providing direction for changes to improve utilization. AD clinic populations may find chatbots to be an acceptable method for receiving genetic education about APOE and requesting additional support from a genetic counselor when needed.
