The growing adoption of AI-powered chatbots across various fields, particularly in healthcare, has established them as valuable tools for delivering health education, supporting behavior modification, and providing psychological interventions for chronic conditions.
The authors explore the role of these digital tools in chronic disease management. AI-powered chatbots are increasingly being used to enhance patient support, facilitate self-care, and improve adherence to treatment plans.
The review analyzes multiple studies assessing chatbot effectiveness and user satisfaction in managing chronic illnesses. Findings indicate that these interventions are generally well-received, showing potential to improve patient engagement, encourage treatment compliance, and even alleviate certain symptoms. However, key challenges persist, including the need for high-quality data, standardized AI models, and thorough safety assessments.
While AI-powered chatbots present a promising avenue for expanding digital healthcare solutions, further research is necessary to refine their integration into clinical practice. More rigorous studies, enhanced data quality, and robust safety measures are essential to ensure their reliability and effectiveness.
