Artificial Intelligence and Digital Literacy for Occupational Therapists

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming health care - and occupational therapy is no exception. This course introduces OTs to the exciting and sometimes daunting world of AI and digital health. You'll learn how AI works in plain language, explore real examples of its use in rehabilitation and health systems, and gain practical strategies for integrating digital tools into everyday practice. Together, we'll unpack the opportunities, challenges, and ethical questions surrounding AI, from privacy and bias to professional responsibility.

Through interactive activities, case studies, and hands-on exploration, participants will build digital literacy skills and the confidence to critically evaluate emerging technologies. By the end of the course, you'll be able to recognize where AI can enhance occupational therapy, advocate for safe and ethical use, and prepare yourself - and the profession - for a future where human expertise and intelligent tools work hand in hand.
