Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been a significant and an immensely useful innovation in field of medicine and rehabilitation. It involves its role in each step of patient handling from primitive to tertiary patient care involving various software and devices discussed in this chapter, namely Virtual Reality, Wearable Devices, and few others. There are several benefits of AI based modalities over conventional methods, being mentioned in literature including accuracy, enhanced recovery, real time feedback and reduced manual work along with time saving interventions. These developments have led to advanced approaches and have been constantly increasing the qualities. This chapter delves into the transformative influence of AI-driven treatment plans in rehabilitation, showcasing advances in real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and the combination of human expertise with AI insights. As we negotiate this new landscape, the potential for increased patient engagement and quality of life becomes more apparent.
