The premise
Chronic disease management can shift from reactive to preventive with continuous AI monitoring; the savings are clinical and economic.
What AI does well here
- Monitor patient-reported outcomes and device data continuously
- Surface deterioration signals before acute episodes
- Generate care-team alerts with appropriate urgency
- Maintain patient agency in monitoring (no surveillance feel)
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for the patient relationship and education
- Replace primary care visits
- Eliminate disease itself
