Physician’s Weekly recently spoke with Kaelee Brockway, PT, DPT, EdD, addressing the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in COPD care plans. Brockway explained that AI can be incorporated into telemonitoring systems for COPD, helping to identify patterns that could signal exacerbations or infections earlier than a clinician may discover them. In responding to these telemonitoring findings, AI can provide feedback to the individual with COPD, potentially guiding the patient away from exacerbation triggers. AI can also serve as a constant guide, able to provide answers to patient queries and offer real-time feedback on patient training. Additionally, AI can be an effective educational tool, generating case scenarios and teaching materials that can adapt to various audiences and degrees of medical knowledge. In addition to assisting in disease management, AI could also play a significant role in preventing chronic diseases. It can identify behavior patterns and single out individuals at the highest risk of chronic disease, allowing for targeted preventative care well before any disease develops. Brockway anticipates AI being used to simulate patient scenarios in order to determine the most effective clinical interventions.
