Half the people I know have knee pain. Can startups help? This morning, I used Grok Socratic Mode to find out.
Grok Socratic Mode is based on the Socratic Method. It asks questions to help you learn.
You can enable it on Grok.com by going to Settings > Customize > Socratic Mode. I set Grok to Expert, which uses the latest model.
Let’s get started!
What’s the State of the Art?
First, I asked Grok what the latest treatments are for knee pain. I also asked which startups are developing the best new therapies.
Grok told me about a lot of exciting approaches, from low dose radiation to stem cells. But it went overboard on the Socratic Method. Grok asked me question after question, far more than I can respond to at once.
So, I told Grok to back up. Let’s find out why knee pain happens. Also, I was intrigued by the Nexsphere-F that Grok mentioned, so I asked for more detail.
Why Knee Pain Happens
Grok explained that cartilage breakdown and bone spurs are major causes of knee pain. Repetitive stress and age can cause cartilage and bone problems.
The Nexsphere-F blocks blood vessels that cause pain and inflammation. That could help a patient be more mobile.
But I want to fix the root cause — the breakdown of cartilage. Is there any way to regrow it?
Let’s ask Grok…
Can We Regrow Cartilage?
Stem cell injections may work. The stem cells could grow into new cartilage, helping the knee function better. Stem cell therapies are in trials now.
Grok also mentioned a scaffolding that can be implanted in the knee. Cartilage could grow on the scaffolding.
I hope that some day soon, people can regrow their cartilage and move like they did decades ago.
Wrap-Up
Grok Socratic Mode gave me some great information. But it asks more questions that I can respond to at once, which makes the output less useful.
Socratic Mode should just ask one question at the end of each response. Then, it could be a great way to learn.
Overall, I’m giving Socratic Mode a B. If you want to learn with AI, you’re better off using the regular Grok Expert.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
