The Role of Respiratory Therapists in an AI-Driven Future
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are revolutionizing healthcare, and respiratory therapy is no exception. From AI-powered ventilators optimizing patient care to robotic-assisted bronchoscopy improving precision, technology is reshaping the field. But does this mean RTs will be replaced? Absolutely not.
In this article, we explore how AI is enhancing—not replacing—respiratory therapists, making their roles even more critical. Learn how predictive analytics, automated diagnostics, and smart respiratory machines are helping RTs provide faster, smarter, and more efficient patient care—and what you can do to stay ahead in this AI-driven future.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Game Changer for Post-COVID Recovery?
Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Change the Game for Post-COVID Recovery?
Long COVID continues to impact millions, leaving patients struggling with fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and heart complications. But what if there was a science-backed therapy that could help accelerate recovery?
Recent studies show that HBOT can improve cardiac function, reduce systemic inflammation, and enhance neurological recovery in post-COVID patients. Beyond research, I’ve personally seen HBOT restore quality of life, including one case in which a brain injury patient regained mobility and speech through hyperbaric treatment.
So why isn’t HBOT being used more widely? Why are insurance companies slow to cover it? And most importantly, how can we push for more research, funding, and accessibility?
