Precision management in chronic disease: An AI empowered perspective on medicine-engineering crossover

Precision management of chronic diseases is crucial for improving patient quality of life and alleviating global health burdens. Advancements at the intersection of medicine and engineering, particularly through artificial intelligence (AI), have driven significant progress in precision care. From the perspective of the full life span management of chronic diseases, we focus on medicine-engineering crossover for monitoring chronic diseases, developing and implementing precision care plans, and evaluating care outcomes. Through an in-depth discussion, we address key issues such as AI's potential to enable precision care and the challenges associated with its implementation, including data accuracy, privacy concerns, and clinical adoption. Emphasizing the importance of nurses embracing new technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, this paper highlights how technological innovation can improve chronic disease management, particularly by enhancing care efficiency and personalizing health interventions. We aim to support the development of integrated healthcare solutions that improve patient outcomes in chronic disease management.
