Chronic Disease Management through an AI-Powered Application
- 1 Global HealthCare Leadership Program, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Abstract
The utilization of coaching applications and AI models is described in this article as a novel method of treating chronic illnesses. The program’s objective is to fill current deficiencies in healthcare systems through the provision of continuous and proactive treatment, considering the worldwide prevalence of chronic diseases such as Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD), diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Alzheimer’s Disease, Hypertension, Osteoarthritis and Asthma. By employing digital therapeutics, an integrated virtual care platform, and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor symptoms and risk factors, patients are actively engaged in the management of their own healthcare. With the aim of improving health outcomes, lowering healthcare costs, and enhancing patient engagement and treatment plan adherence, this undertaking utilizes remote monitoring capabilities to transform the provision of long-term care. Effective achievement of this revolutionary goal necessitates the collaboration of patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and technology development teams.
