AI can help parents and professionals find information, organise concerns and prepare useful questions. But it can also produce inaccurate, misleading or unsuitable advice. Dr Inyang Takon provides practical, clinician-led training to help families and healthcare professionals use AI safely, responsibly and effectively.
Senior Neurodevelopmental Paediatrician and AI Educator
More parents are using chatbots to ask questions about their child's development, behaviour, sleep, learning and emotional wellbeing.
These tools can help families organise their thoughts and understand unfamiliar language. However, AI does not know the whole child. It may miss important details, misunderstand symptoms or give an answer that sounds convincing but is incorrect.
Parents need more than a list of prompts. They need to understand what information is safe to share, how to question an AI response, how to recognise unreliable advice and when to seek professional help.
Clinicians need the same confidence. AI may support administrative and communication tasks, but it must be used within clear professional, information-governance and clinical-safety boundaries.
Use AI as a support tool, not a substitute for professional assessment
Parents often turn to AI while waiting for an assessment, preparing for an appointment or trying to understand what they have been told. This training shows you how to use AI to become better informed and better prepared, while protecting your child's privacy and recognising the limits of chatbot advice.
A short downloadable guide covering five things AI can help with, five things AI should not be trusted to decide, information parents should never upload, a checklist for checking AI answers, and ten safe starter prompts.

BrainDiverse AI training provides education about the safer use of artificial intelligence. It does not provide a diagnosis, individual medical advice or emergency support. AI-generated information should not be used to start, stop or change medication or treatment. If you are concerned about a child's immediate health or safety, contact an appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service.
Clinicians remain responsible for checking AI-generated material, protecting patient information and following their employer's clinical-safety, data-protection and information-governance policies.
Use AI efficiently while protecting patients and professional standards
AI can help clinicians with reading, synthesis, drafting and administrative work. It can also introduce factual errors, bias, confidentiality risks and unsafe shortcuts. This training is grounded in more than 20 years of neurodevelopmental paediatric practice — focusing on realistic clinical workflows, professional judgement and the safe use of AI as an assistant rather than a decision-maker.
Engaging talks for conferences, professional bodies, NHS organisations and multidisciplinary teams.
