Abstract
Purpose of review: This review explores how artificial intelligence can help advance clinical nutrition and address nutrition education and practice challenges. It highlights the role of AI, mainly through advanced clinical decision-making using generative AI, in supporting clinicians as they develop personalized nutrition interventions for individual patients. Furthermore, the review discusses how AI technologies are helping to close the knowledge gap in nutrition and delivering real-time, evidence-based insights to healthcare professionals.
Recent findings: AI processes, such as machine learning and natural language processing, have shown promising results in predicting nutritional outcomes and complications, such as malnutrition and central line-associated bloodstream infections. Studies highlight the capability of AI to efficiently process large datasets, identify key risk factors, and provide real-time support to clinicians. Furthermore, AI can personalize educational content, making complex nutritional concepts more accessible. AI has demonstrated multiple potential use cases in nutrition. However, much work still needs to be done to evaluate its accuracy, accessibility and ethical considerations.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
