Our comments:

While certain aspects of the osteopath profession may benefit from AI tools, such as AI-assisted diagnosis based on described symptoms or medical images, the core of this profession lies in touch and physical perception. Osteopathic manipulations require human expertise, sensitivity, and real-time adaptive responses that are irreplaceable.

However, AI tools could potentially assist in educating and advising patients on posture and exercises, although the true assessment of individual needs would still require human intervention. The human touch and individualized care provided by osteopaths are essential components of their practice.
