Resumen

This research focuses on the need to monitor and treat cervical muscle pain in the context of teleworking, combining electrotherapy with artificial intelligence, with agents that use Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), to offer contextual assistance and improve the effectiveness of physiotherapy therapies. In relation to the problem, during the COVID-19 pandemic, teleworking was promoted globally, which brought benefits of flexibility, generated ergonomic risks, an increase in musculoskeletal disorders, and work-related stress, affecting occupational health, making the need for LLM-RAG agents necessary to help with home therapies. The literature review revealed technological dependence on electrostimulation devices, the development of solutions adapted to different contexts, and the use of intelligent LLM-RAG agents in healthcare to provide therapeutic recommendations. Therefore, this research describes the design and implementation of an intelligent therapeutic system that integrates a TENS device controlled by an Android mobile application and assisted by an LLM-RAG agent to relieve neck pain in teleworkers through controlled signal generation and contextualized consultation connected to a vectorized document database. The results show the integration of electronic hardware, a mobile application, and an LLM-RAG agent to generate therapeutic signals, protect the hardware through current control, structure a vectorized document database with more than 170 fragments, answer queries with semantic accuracy between 94% and 98%, and average interaction time of less than 3.2 seconds.
