The Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy-Editorial

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in the field of healthcare to improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical diagnoses, treatment plans, and decision making.It has the potential to transform the way healthcare is delivered and improve patient outcome [1] Artificial intelligence (AI) describes a computer's ability to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligencethat is, machines that can 'think'.It is technically defined as the development of technology which is used to perform technological operations requiring involvement of human intelligence.AI is a cross-disciplinary field of research that attempts to understand, model and replicate intelligence and cognitive processes by invoking computational, mathematical, logical, mechanical and biological principles and devices [2] Digitalization is nowadays a top topic in popular and scientific debate.In physiotherapy digitalisation has occurred on many levels, for example, applications for supporting physically active lifestyles and different systems for distance rehabilitation.Still, there is a lot of potential for development for PTs in this area [3] The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of rehabilitation is growing rapidly.Therefore, there is a need to understand how Physiotherapist (PTs) perceive AI technologies [4]
