ACRM SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM Beyond Chatbots: Harnessing AI for Chronic Disease Management & Rehabilitation ________________________________________ Step into the future of care. Artificial Intelligence is moving far beyond predictive text and chat assistants — it’s becoming a powerful ally in how we manage chronic disease, deliver rehab and support long-term recovery. This breakthrough session reveals how cutting-edge AI is already transforming patient self-management, behavioral health, and neurorehabilitation — and why clinicians, researchers, and technologists can no longer afford to stay on the sidelines. Whether you’re AI-curious or already deep in the tech trenches, this is your chance to reimagine how care is delivered. See what’s working. See what’s next. Leave ready to lead. Not just a session — this is a not-to-miss glimpse of where the field is going.
