Artificial Intelligence in Allied Healthcare

Similar to when the internet was budding, artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay, and developing an early understanding of avenues and limitations will help enhance the administration and management of AI in rehabilitation. Both the APTA (Stevens-Lapsley, 2023) and AOTA (Reynolds, 2023) have commented on the need for the inclusion of AI topics in clinical research as this technology isalready deeply embedded in healthcare research and applications. This podcast will uncover current evidence- based uses of AI in the planning and directing of clinical activities while highlighting the administration and management of AI scope in the rehabilitation professions. Developing an understanding of where we are and where we are going is critical for the application of AI to promote best- practice approaches to care and achieve functionaloutcomes in occupation-based practice.

This course will explore the current climate of artificial intelligence application in the administration and management of therapy services. Clinicians will develop an understanding of these applications and the implications for current practices. By exploring the latest research on best-practiceapproaches to AI in healthcare, clinicians will be able to better plan for the application of AI into practice, be a voice for directing AI in their organizations, and maximize evidence-based AI approaches to facilitate patient outcomes in functional, activity-based plans of care.

Highlights

• Benefits and limitations of artificial intelligence(AI) in current practice and research including AI's role in occupation, prognosis, and recovery
• Current applications of AI and emerging research as it applies to the administration and management of rehabilitation clinical practice
