A Scoping Review on Artificial Intelligence–Supported Interventions for Nonpharmacologic Management of Chronic Rheumatic Diseases
Authors' conclusion
AI-supported interventions show promise in promoting education, exercise, and behavioral guidance for adults with chronic rheumatic diseases. There is evidence for high usability and engagement, but the clinical impact on long-term symptom management is uncertain.
