Can tech-enabled care deliver high-quality physical and occupational therapy without losing the clinician’s touch? Todd Norwood, PT, DPT, FACHE, a pioneer in digital health practice and research, breaks down the clinical shift toward virtual and hybrid models with host Jon Ide-Don. Their discussion dives into the practical applications of telehealth for rehabilitation, computer vision for movement analysis, the power of micro-touchpoints for patient adherence, and where AI genuinely belongs in your workflow. You’ll gain a fresh perspective on expanding your virtual scope of practice while keeping clinical reasoning firmly at the center of care.
