Personalized physical therapy: Stroke rehabilitation powered by AI

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, affecting 15 million people each year and leaving 5 million with long-term impairments. There’s also a growing shortage of physical therapists, making it harder for patients to access consistent, high-quality care. A new approach developed by MIT mechanical engineers combines cutting edge artificial intelligence with real human care practices. “Our goal is to teach robots how to assist with physical and occupational therapy, not to replace therapists, but to extend their reach,” explains Johannes Lachner, who completed this work as a MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellow in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. “A core innovation of our system is that physical therapists can train their own robot using AI, enabling personalized, scalable support tailored to each patient’s needs.” Lachner, now an assistant professor at Purdue University, and Noah Geiger, a Junior Managers Program Trainee (AI/IT Track) at Robert Bosch GmbH and former visiting student at MIT, developed a robotic therapy system that learns from physical therapists to adaptively support stroke patients. Combining transformer-based diffusion models with real-time force feedback, the dual-arm robot safely adjusts assistance based on each patient’s...

The UK regulator ruled that AI scribes aren't medical devices if they only summarize or transcribe. But treating AI summaries as mere "admin" ignores a massive risk: if the AI misses a symptom, that error becomes part of the patient's record.

UK exempts AI scribes from medical regulation

By classifying ambient AI scribes as administrative tools rather than medical devices, UK regulators are prioritizing clinical speed over systemic safety.

ARBOR: “.. The amount of money spent on data center construction was 9.16% of the total spent on private nonresidential construction projects in June 2026. This share was 2.13% in November 2022, the month in which ChatGPT was released to the public.”

I’m not a lawyer but it doesn’t seem particularly complicated. If a company has an industry accident that damages other companies, then there is liability. Victims would only need to show damages (unclear there were any substantive damages).
