Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many industries, and healthcare is no exception. Its use in monitoring chronic diseases opens promising perspectives for patients and healthcare professionals.

Towards more preventive medicine thanks to AI

One of the main advantages of AI in monitoring chronic diseases is its ability to predict aggravations and to allow earlier treatment. By analyzing the patient datasuch as symptoms, medical history and lifestyle habits, AI can identify patterns and trends that often escape the human eye.

Take the example of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)a respiratory disease that affects millions of people around the world. A pilot program in Hull and East Yorkshire, England, uses AI to analyze data collected through a application mobile. This application, called Smoothallows patients to track their symptoms and communicate directly with their healthcare team. Thanks to the analysis of data from the application, AI can identify patients at risk of worsening and allow rapid intervention, thus avoiding costly and potentially dangerous hospitalizations.

AI for better patient care

AI can also play a crucial role in improving the care of patients with chronic diseases. By providing healthcare professionals precise and real-time information on the state of health of their patients, AI makes it possible to personalize treatments and optimize care.

In the case of COPD, the Lenus app allows patients to track their symptoms, send messages to their healthcare team and receive personalized advice. The AI ​​analyzes the data collected by the application and alerts healthcare professionals when necessary. This system made it possible to significantly reduce the number of hospitalizations linked to COPD in the pilot region.

A powerful tool to empower patients

The use of AI in monitoring chronic diseases also makes it possible to empower patients by involving them more in the management of their health. Thanks to the applications mobiles and to connected devicespatients can track their symptoms, treatments and overall health. They can thus better understand their illness and make informed decisions regarding their care.

The Lenus app, for example, encourages COPD patients to take charge of their disease by encouraging them to track their symptoms and communicate with their healthcare team. This active involvement of patients contributes to improve their quality of life and reduce the number of hospitalizations.

The future of chronic disease monitoring

AI is revolutionizing the monitoring of chronic diseases. By enabling better prediction of worsening, more personalized care and greater patient involvement, AI contributes to improve quality of life people with chronic illnesses and reduce healthcare costs.

The example of the pilot program carried out in Hull and East Yorkshire shows the potential of AI in the management of COPD. It is very likely that this technology will soon be used to monitor other chronic diseases, such as diabetesl’high blood pressure and the heart disease. AI thus opens the way to more preventive, more personalized and more effective medicine.
