Towards Al-Based Preventative Physiotherapy Interventions
How can we responsibly create novel Al-enabled public health interventions in physiotherapy? This project brings together expertise in robotics, machine learning, physiotherapy and participatory design to imagine and create new types of physiotherapy exercises and interventions, while reflecting on how these technologies will have an impact on how physiotherapists relate to their clients. We will do so by designing novel technologies together with physiotherapists, tightly integrated into their everyday work practices. Our aim is to innovate responsibly in this area, respecting physiotherapists core values and articulating ethical issues emerging from novel human-Al collaborations.
