If AI Can’t See You, Your Patients Can’t Either

The AI shift in orthopedic marketing isn’t theoretical — it’s already here.

Our survey found AI usage in healthcare decision-making has reached:

89% of Gen Z
75% of Millennials
68% of Gen X
47% of Boomers

They’re using AI to:

  • Research conditions and treatments
  • Find providers in their area
  • Understand MRI and X-ray reports
  • Ask “what happens next?”

The opportunity — and the risk — is simple: if your content isn’t detailed, structured, and consistent enough for AI to cite, your practice disappears from this part of the journey.

👉 The whitepaper outlines exactly how to close your AI content gaps, from condition pages to schema markup and provider bios.
