Advancements in artificial intelligence for atopic dermatitis: diagnosis, treatment, and patient management

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and complex skin disease that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. The latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have introduced new methods for diagnosing, treating, and managing AD. AI has various innovative applications in the diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis, with particular emphasis on its significant benefits in medical diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and patient care. AI algorithms, especially those that use deep learning techniques, demonstrate strong performance in recognizing skin images and effectively distinguishing different types of skin lesions, including common AD manifestations. In addition, artificial intelligence has also shown promise in creating personalized treatment plans, simplifying drug development processes, and managing clinical trials. Despite challenges in data privacy and model transparency, the potential of artificial intelligence in advancing AD care is enormous, bringing the future to precision medicine and improving patient outcomes. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the application of AI in the process of AD disease for the first time, aiming to play a key role in the advancement of AI in skin health care and further enhance the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AD.
