Artificial Intelligence in Hypertension: A Futuristic Approach in Blood Pressure Management
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension is not only the most prevalent disease but also is posing a global burden as well as national burden on the health system. Coping the disease with physical means is quite common but now in emerging India, the transformation in the management of the disease via technology is getting popular. In the same array, Artificial Intelligence is seeking its way for newer innovations in the field of medicine. AI brings a multitude of benefits to the field of medicine, transforming various aspects of healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes. AI systems continuously learn from new data, adapting and improving over time to provide more accurate diagnostics and treatment recommendations. This article highlights the role of AI in managing hypertension, considering its diagnosis, treatment and limitations. AI-based systems are now replacing conventional BP monitors. Not only measurement but AI could play critical role in diagnosing, treating and managing hypertension. Moreover, the prediction of undiagnosed hypertension is also possible through AI. Though there are still technical glitches and biases in AI, it could be worked on in the future. Thus, AI-based healthcare systems will make clinical practice more precise and ensure personalized medicine.
