Despite the complexity of lung tissues, a computed tomography-based finite element model (CT-FEM), guided by Biot's theory, can be employed to numerically predict their vibroacoustic behavior at low frequencies, where the properties of the lungs align with the theory's principles. In this work, one aims to develop an analytical model of the lungs for two different levels of transpulmonary pressure-10 cm H<sub>2</sub>O (inflated lungs) and 20 cm H<sub>2</sub>O (healthy lungs)-to examine the poroviscoelastic behavior of the lungs and evaluate the generated analytical model using a CT-FEM of the human thorax like a digital twin of the human thorax. Biot's theory was utilized to predict the complex-valued shear wave speed, as well as the fast and slow compression wave speeds, across a frequency range between 5 and 100 Hz. The analytically computed values were tested using a previously validated CT-FEM of the human thorax to compare respiratory therapy outcomes for intubated patients under different transpulmonary pressure levels. Besides the frequency response function of the thorax, the kinetic energy density and the strain energy density were compared for these pressure levels. The CT-FEM demonstrated that all peak points fall within the range of 20-45 Hz; therefore, this range might be considered in ICUs settings. Kinetic energy density was nearly 2.2 times higher, and strain energy density was 1.46-1.26 times higher at the first and last peaks, respectively; therefore, inflated lungs experienced greater effects than healthy ones under the same respiratory therapy conditions. Overall, this study highlights how different transpulmonary pressures affect HFCC therapy, offering insights into gentle and effective conditions for intubated patients in ICUs while revealing the lungs' 3D responses by integrating analytically predicted shear wave speed, fast and slow compression wave speeds.</p>","PeriodicalId":73078,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in digital health","volume":"7 ","pages":"1434578"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12006108/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144029910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AI-driven technologies, including real-time health monitoring and predictive analytics, offer new personalized preventive care possibilities.

This paper addresses the critical gap in AI integration in preventive healthcare, highlighting statistical evidence of its impact. It also explores the intersection of AI, preventive medicine, and ethical challenges in future healthcare, envisioning the evolving roles of physicians and patients in an AI-integrated ecosystem. A fictional case study projected for 2040, illustrating an entirely digitized, AI-supported healthcare system, frames the discussion about digital health technologies, privacy regulations, and AI's ethical implications in the future of preventive medicine. Digital health interventions powered by AI will facilitate real-time preventive strategies, strengthen patient autonomy, and enhance precision medicine. However, algorithmic bias, data privacy, and healthcare equity challenges must be addressed to ensure AI fosters inclusivity rather than exacerbating disparities. Regulatory frameworks, such as GDPR, provide foundational protections, but further adaptations are required to govern AI's expanding role in medicine. This digital-assisted preventive medicine has the potential to redefine patient-provider interactions, enhance healthcare efficiency, and promote proactive health management. However, achieving this vision requires a multidisciplinary approach involving health professionals, policymakers, and technology developers. Future research should focus on regulatory strategies, digital literacy, and ethical AI implementation to balance innovation with equity, ensuring that digital healthcare remains patient-centered and inclusive.</p>","PeriodicalId":73078,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in digital health","volume":"7 ","pages":"1588479"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12003295/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144051706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
