Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Aid the Management of Allergic Respiratory Diseases

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have led to major innovations and fundamental changes in many fields of medicine. Like the case with many other areas in healthcare, AI and ML have immense potential to improve the management of allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma. Asthma is a heterogenous condition encompassing several diseases and current approaches to asthma management are sub-optimal. Adopting tools built using AI and ML can help identify disease phenotypes, stratify patients based on risk and therefore support personalized treatments that are anticipated to lead to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. This Article Collection brings together original research articles, review articles, viewpoint articles, and research protocol articles on using AI and ML (including deep learning) to develop predictive models that can aid the management of allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma.
