Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses a broad range of technologies that enable systems to draw on big data, statistics and probability analyses. They function in ways that attempt to mimic human cognition and produce outcomes that appear “intelligent” to human observers. AI underlies the ability of devices controlled by computers to perform complex tasks normally done by humans like driving a car or playing a game of chess. AI differs from conventional computer programing that uses [...]

Assistive devices are those prescribed by health care professionals to maintain or improve a person’s functioning, independence to perform the tasks of everyday life, and to enhance their overall well-being. They can also help prevent impairments and secondary health conditions. Orthopedic braces and supports are examples of assistive devices.

Big data refers to very large data sets that artificial intelligence (AI) systems analyze to reveal patterns that cannot be observed or revealed using traditional methods. AI systems use the ability to detect these patterns to mimic human behaviour in executing specific tasks. The ability of an AI system to mimic human behavior depends to a significant extent on the quality of the big data that is used to train the AI system.
