[PMID: 40200717 PMCID: PMC11983576 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2025.2484665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2025] [Accepted: 03/16/2025] [Indexed: 04/10/2025] Open
Abstract
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.

Advancing hyperspectral imaging and machine learning tools toward clinical adoption in tissue diagnostics: A comprehensive review. APL Bioeng 2024; 8. [DOI: https:/doi.org/10.1063/5.0240444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 04/02/2025] Open
Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has become an evident transformative apparatus in medical diagnostics. The review aims to appraise the present advancement and challenges in HSI for medical applications. It features a variety of medical applications namely diagnosing diabetic retinopathy, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, which illustrates its effectiveness in early diagnosis, early caries detection in periodontal disease, and dermatology by detecting skin cancer. Regardless of these advances, the challenges exist within every aspect that limits its broader clinical adoption. It has various constraints including difficulties with technology related to the complexity of the HSI system and needing specialist training, which may act as a drawback to its clinical settings. This article pertains to potential challenges expressed in medical applications and probable solutions to overcome these constraints. Successful companies that perform advanced solutions with HSI in terms of medical applications are being emphasized in this study to signal the high level of interest in medical diagnosis for systems to incorporate machine learning ML and artificial intelligence AI to foster precision diagnosis and standardized clinical workflow. This advancement signifies progressive possibilities of HSI in real-time clinical assessments. In conclusion despite HSI has been presented as a significant advanced medical imaging tool, addressing its limitations and probable solutions is for broader clinical adoption.
