Major companies operating in the physiotherapy services market are concentrating on the introduction of AI-run physiotherapy clinics to improve patient outcomes, optimize treatment workflows, and deliver personalized rehabilitation programs. AI-run physiotherapy clinics are healthcare facilities that incorporate artificial intelligence technologies to support diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of patients undergoing physiotherapy. These clinics enable patients to access automated video consultations with a digital physiotherapist on the same day care is requested. For instance, in June 2024, the National Health Service, a UK-based healthcare system, launched Flok Health, an AI-operated physiotherapy clinic. The clinic functions through a smartphone application that allows patients to interact with an AI physiotherapist. The system responds to patient-provided information in real time, enabling personalized treatment modifications based on individual symptoms and feedback. The AI platform is capable of generating customized treatment plans by analyzing medical history, movement patterns, and treatment outcomes.
