With the growing demand of technological advancements and real time technical support, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) has emerged as one of the integral parts of the healthcare system, especially after post pandemic era (1) Synthetic intelligence plays a significant role in assessment and patient management. So, the time is not far where learning and implementing it in current practice will be the need of an hour. Physiotherapy course curriculum would need to add it on in the coming times to become rational about accepting or rejecting the AI advices.
With the fast paced growing time, at times it becomes difficult for patients to even visit physiotherapy clinic on a daily basis or the post operative bed ridden patients or individuals who are bed ridden due to other reasons such as stroke, spinal cord injury or other neurological impairment, home bases treatment with AI instruments can prove nothing less than a blessing
