Artificial intelligence in the management of metabolic disorders: a comprehensive review

Abstract

This review explores the significant role of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing metabolic disorders like diabetes, obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and thyroid dysfunction. AI applications in this context encompass early diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, risk assessment, prevention, and biomarker discovery for early and accurate disease management. This review also delves into techniques involving machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and reinforcement learning associated with AI and their application in metabolic disorders. The following study also enlightens the challenges and ethical considerations associated with AI implementation, such as data privacy, model interpretability, and bias mitigation. We have reviewed various AI-based tools utilized for the diagnosis and management of metabolic disorders, such as Idx, Guardian Connect system, and DreaMed for diabetes. Further, the paper emphasizes the potential of AI to revolutionize the management of metabolic disorders through collaborations among clinicians and AI experts, the integration of AI into clinical practice, and the necessity for long-term validation studies. The references provided in the paper cover a range of studies related to AI, ML, personalized medicine, metabolic disorders, and diagnostic tools in healthcare, including research on disease diagnostics, personalized therapy, chronic disease management, and the application of AI in diabetes care and nutrition.
