Utilizing Patient Data and AI to Develop Cost-Efficient Models for Chronic Disease Management in the U.S. Healthcare System

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Healthcare Data Analytics

Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) in developing cost-efficient models for managing chronic diseases, with a particular focus on respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It addresses the economic burden these diseases impose on the U.S. healthcare system and highlights the need for innovative, patient-centric solutions. The study investigates the application of patient data, including genetic information, lifestyle factors, and treatment outcomes, combined with advanced AI and machine learning techniques. Key sources and metrics such as emergency department visit reductions, hospitalization rates, and treatment adherence were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of AI-driven approaches. AI-driven models demonstrated significant potential in reducing hospitalizations and lowering overall treatment costs by enabling early interventions and tailored care strategies. Predictive analytics, in particular, was shown to be effective in identifying high-risk patients and mitigating exacerbations, contributing to better resource allocation and operational efficiency. The adoption of AI in chronic disease management could alleviate the financial strain on the U.S. healthcare system, promote equitable access to care, and enhance patient outcomes. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, implementation costs, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to realize its full potential. Future advancements in AI precision and real-time data integration hold promise for further revolutionizing respiratory disease management.

[25] Mohanty et al. (2021) explained that machine learning models can precisely forecast hospital readmissions, allowing for targeted interventions to minimize unnecessary costs. They identified previous readmissions, discharge to rehabilitation facilities, length of stay, comorbidities, and frailty indicators as key predictors of 30-day readmissions.

[45] Verma and Lin (2022) demonstrated that predictive analytics reduced COPD readmissions by employing two methods: prediction-based models (70.35% accuracy) and event-based models (72.73% precision). By analyzing physical activity (PA) data as a proxy for patient health status, the study identified actionable trends and supporting interventions such as lifestyle adjustments or alternative treatments. These metrics not only validate the financial viability of AI-driven models but also highlight their role in improving patient outcomes.
