AI and Treatment Planning

You know that sinking feeling you get before walking into a patient room, when you suddenly think:

“Wait...what exactly am I going to do with this patient?”

Creating a treatment plan entails a complex synthesis of the patient’s needs, the available evidence, and your expertise. It’s no wonder it can be hard to pull all this information together on the spot.

So, it’s easy to see why therapists are starting to utilize AI tools as a brainstorming assist for treatment planning.

But, this also raises SO MANY questions. Which tools should I trust? What are the limitations? What are the ethical considerations?

In this live webinar and course, we are talking with a practicing PT, Cody Lee, about the benefits he has found from using AI as a treatment planning companion. And, practical ways you can get started doing the same, so you can begin riding this wave that is going to transform healthcare.
