The OT Algorithm released a new podcast episode featuring Meghan Phelan on health-related technology into three buckets, wearables, smart home technology, and caregiver support.

The OT Algorithm is building AI literacy as core professional infrastructure for occupational therapy, and as a core competency. We help OT and OTA programs, practitioners, and educators use AI with integrity: protecting patient privacy, thinking critically about outputs, and keeping clinical judgment central as the profession adopts these tools. AI Foundations Curriculum A 10-module, ACOTE-aligned curriculum built specifically for OT and OTA academic programs — covering AI foundations, neuroscience-informed learning theory, ethics and HIPAA compliance, prompt engineering, documentation support, research literacy, and faculty development. Designed to integrate into existing coursework without adding new courses or credit hours, with full instructor materials so faculty don't need prior AI experience to teach it. The OT Algorithm Newsletter A weekly newsletter translating AI developments into plain-English takeaways for OT students, clinicians, and educators — AI headlines, tool breakdowns, ready-to-use prompting tips, and an ethics corner in every issue. Speaking & Professional Development Live trainings and CE presentations for OT programs, healthcare organizations, and associations, grounded in published research on AI's cognitive and ethical implications for clinical reasoning. Why it matters AI is already in OT workflows — documentation, scheduling, clinical decision support, research. Most practitioners have received no formal training on how to use it responsibly. We're closing that gap with rehab-native, ethics-forward education that treats AI literacy the way OT treats any other tool: evaluated for whether it serves the client, protects privacy, and supports — not replaces — professional judgment. Founded by an OT, for OT.
