Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy and Allied Health: Leveraging Education - AI Series in Physiotherapy and Allied Health, #1

Physiotherapy and allied health students face a growing challenge—an overwhelming academic load, high expectations in clinical reasoning, and intense pressure to perform in OSCEs, vivas, case discussions, and job interviews. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the education landscape, offering powerful new ways to learn, practice, revise, and build confidence. Yet most students have never been taught how to use AI meaningfully, ethically, and productively in their academic journey.

This book was written to close that gap.

Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy and Allied Health: Leveraging Education helps students study smarter—not harder—by using AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut. Written in clear, accessible language, this Volume 1 guides readers in using AI for note-making, summarization, spaced repetition, viva and OSCE preparation, clinical reasoning, and self-directed learning.

Rather than replacing effort, the book highlights how AI can boost understanding, sharpen reasoning, and accelerate learning while maintaining academic honesty, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility.

It includes fictional global case scenarios, research-backed insights, visual aids, and chapter-end references to make learning engaging and practical. These tools help learners apply AI to real-world healthcare education, build confidence, and strengthen professional reasoning skills.
