About Presentation

Title: Consumer focused care meets AI

​

This presentation will explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on disability service delivery through multiple projects conducted by the Endeavour Foundation and Queensland University of Technology (QUT). This presentation will highlight how AI technologies are empowering individuals with disabilities to live more independent lives by enabling them to construct their own care and progress notes independently or with minimal assistance. Mr Chris Beaumont will discuss how AI is enhancing the skills of support workers, enabling them to write higher-quality reports and provide better care. Other projects showcased in this presentation include the innovative use of AI to provide support to participants when their regular support networks are unavailable. The presentation will delve into the practical applications of AI in disability services and the ongoing research that surrounds these initiatives.
