Occupational therapy, a profession deeply rooted in empowering individuals to thrive in their daily lives, is experiencing a fascinating evolution reflective of societal shifts and innovative practices. At the forefront of this evolution is integrating technology into occupational therapy practice. From immersive virtual reality platforms designed to enhance motor skills rehabilitation to wearable devices providing real-time feedback on movement patterns, technology is revolutionizing how occupational therapists engage with their clients.
According to Grand View Research, the global occupational therapy software market was valued at USD 116.8 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8 percent from 2022 to 2030.
Occupational therapy expands beyond traditional healthcare settings, reaching into communities, workplaces, and virtual spaces. By bringing therapy services directly to where people live, work, and play, occupational therapists are breaking down barriers to access and delivering care more responsive to diverse populations’ needs.
