# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Touch. Talk. Diagnose: An AI Patient for Physiotherapy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Discover how AI, tactile tech & social robots reshape physiotherapy education, helping future clinicians develop patient care skills.About this EventA physiotherapy consultation is more than the press of a hand. It involves the questions a clinician asks, how a patient describes what they are feeling, and how a diagnosis is communicated. While hands-on simulators help develop physical assessment skills, practising the conversation at the heart of patient care is harder to replicate.This interactive showcase explores how AI can bridge that gap. Developed by The University of Melbourne’s School of Computing and Information Systems in collaboration with the Department of Physiotherapy, the experience combines physical palpation devices with an AI patient designed to simulate a realistic consultation.Participants will explore how touch, conversation and responsive interaction come together through three physical palpation devices, including technology that provides realistic tissue responses, alongside an AI patient using conversational language, expressive voice and a Furhat social robot to respond in real time.By bringing together tactile feedback, communication and clinical decision-making, the demonstration highlights how emerging technologies could create new possibilities for physiotherapy education and support future clinicians in developing patient care skills.For more information including the speakers visit:Event Partner:School of Computing and Information Systems (CIS) & Department of PhysiotherapyThe University of Melbourne
