AI in Allied Health - February 2026

AI in Allied Health – February 2026 Update

AI continues to accelerate but this month’s shifts are less about shiny tools and more about systems level change.

After speaking at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress in Bangkok, I’ve been reflecting on how AI is moving beyond experimentation and into clinical integration. From evidence synthesis to documentation workflows and decision support systems, we’re seeing meaningful movement into practice.

In this month’s full newsletter, I cover:

• The rise of agentic AI tools like Clawdbot and why autonomy doesn’t equal healthcare readiness
  • A major update to Claude’s Opus 4.6 model and what improved reasoning actually means for clinicians
  • Heidi Health’s expansion beyond scribing into research integration
  • A new scoping review exploring AI-supported clinical decision-making and why implementation maturity still lags behind technical capability
  • A practical Prompt of the Month to identify cognitive bottlenecks in your workday
  • A new live webinar on building your own AI assistant
  • And the release of my new Trusted AI Documentation System for solo and small allied health practices

If you want the full breakdown, including implementation insights and practical takeaways, you can subscribe to receive the newsletter directly.

AI capability is increasing rapidly. The question is not whether it will influence allied health but how we choose to integrate it responsibly.
