How Tampa General is using AI to help stroke patients

Tampa (Fla.) General Hospital is using the artificial intelligence-powered Bionik InMotion robotic arm to make stroke therapy more engaging, local news outlet WFTS reported May 8.

The arm creates a series of games and activities for each therapy session. Every session is unique to the patient.

"The artificial intelligence in the device is actually very subtle, you wouldn't notice it to the naked eye. When the patient comes in, we do an evaluation where the robot learns what their current range of motion is, their current strength and what areas we still need to work on," Tampa General occupational therapist Samantha Rubio told WFTS.
