The Ethical Application of AI in OT

This is a 2-hour course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in occupational and physical therapy, a topic that’s rapidly transforming the landscape of rehabilitation. Whether you’re completely new to AI or just beginning to explore its potential, this training is designed to meet you at an introductory level and build your confidence. Together, we’ll define core AI concepts and break down key terms like machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, all in the context of OT and PT.

You’ll discover real AI-powered tools that are already being used to support therapists, along with practical applications to enhance patient engagement, remote monitoring, and individualized care. We’ll also touch on important ethical considerations, such as privacy and data bias, and discuss the impact of AI on our own cognitive skills as clinicians. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with clinical takeaways you can begin using immediately, ideas and tools you can integrate into your practice immediately after this course.

Learning Outcomes 

  1. Define AI and distinguish between key concepts such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision within the context of rehabilitation.
