AI in Chiropractic: Navigating the Future of Healthcare
This episode explores the intersection of cutting-edge technology and quality patient care, focusing on artificial intelligence and its impact on the chiropractic profession.
Like many of you, we’ve been captivated by big dreams since watching The Jetsons in the 1980s—a world of flying cars, talking dogs, and Rosie the robot maid. Interestingly, The Jetsons originally debuted in 1962 as ABC's first color broadcast. However, it faltered in its early days, airing at night to an audience not yet ready to appreciate its futuristic vision.
It later found success in the 1980s on Saturday mornings, showing that timing and readiness are crucial for revolutionary ideas to thrive. Today, we stand at the precipice of another technological revolution: Artificial Intelligence.
Join us as we explore AI’s potential to transform healthcare, tackling the complexities of musculoskeletal disorders, the challenge of interpreting symptom variability, and how chiropractors can guide AI to better serve our patients.
