RTMatters – Episode 005 | The Impact of A.I. on RT Practice (Part 1)

In this first part of a multi-episode series, we delve into the growing role of artificial intelligence (A.I.) in respiratory therapy practice. While A.I. has seamlessly integrated into our personal lives through technologies like Siri, Alexa, and navigation apps, its introduction into the workplace—especially healthcare—has raised concerns about clinical efficacy, patient safety, and job security. In this episode, we introduce the basics of A.I., explaining how it works and why it’s being called the "eventual inevitability" in respiratory care. While A.I. in healthcare can feel intimidating, we aim to address the fears and misconceptions surrounding this technology. As A.I. continues to make its mark on respiratory care, this is just the beginning of an ongoing conversation that will explore its impact, benefits, and challenges in future episodes. Join us for this insightful discussion and stay tuned for more on A.I. in respiratory care. We want to hear from you!
