ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: CREATING NEW PARADIGMS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

Georgian Med News. 2023 Nov:(344):200-202.

Abstract

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical science is growing immensely. Since AI contains features that can address both preventive and therapeutic aspects of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), it can potentially lessen the massive burden of morbidity and mortality associated with NCDs. AI can help in various ways in NCDs including predicting disease occurrence, monitoring, ensuring treatment and follow-up of patients. Low- and middle-income countries can harness the benefit of AI for the management of chronic diseases and effectively address challenges like manpower shortage, accessibility to health care, etc. However, AI needs to be used responsibly and rationally in NCDs for its maximum benefit.
