Artificial intelligence (AI) has been revolutionizing the healthcare industry in recent years, particularly in the field of precision medicine. Precision medicine aims to provide personalized treatment plans for patients based on their unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. This approach has shown promising results in treating rare diseases, which affect a small percentage of the population and often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years.
AI can play a crucial role in precision medicine for rare diseases by analyzing vast amounts of patient data and identifying patterns that may be missed by human doctors. For example, AI algorithms can analyze a patient’s genetic data and compare it to a database of known genetic mutations associated with rare diseases.
