Developing an AI-Powered System to Identify Patients at High Risk for Chronic Conditions

Abstract

The burgeoning realm of artificial intelligence (AI) has unfurled a new chapter in healthcare innovation, especially in the proactive management of chronic conditions. This chapter delves into the development of AI-powered systems dedicated to identifying patients at high risk for chronic diseases, aiming to remodel the traditional reactive healthcare model into a more predictive and preventive approach. By harnessing complex algorithms and vast datasets, such systems endeavor to pinpoint early risk factors, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize resource allocation. This discussion is anchored in a critical review of the literature that elucidates the evolution, methodologies, benefits, and challenges inherent in the integration of AI technologies in chronic disease management.
