April TeleHealth SIS Meeting
Learning Outcomes:
- Build foundational AI literacy skills
- Explore the intersectionality of AI and OT
- Recognize & evaluate the ethical considerations of using AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making machines smart and capable of doing tasks that typically require human intelligence. Occupational therapy practitioners and students can use AI to simulate various conditions, helping them understand how diseases progress or how injuries affect the body. It can also assist in designing personalized occupational therapy interventions based on individual client data. In essence, AI opens exciting possibilities for creating innovative solutions in occupational therapy by simulating, predicting, and generating new ideas and approaches, ultimately contributing to improving client care, outcomes and advancing occupational therapy. The webinar will introduce AI and explore how AI is being used in occupational therapy, with real-world examples of AI applications that are enhancing the client's experience and improving outcomes.
