Chronic disease ‘patient burnout’ – a silent issue that must be tackled

“Patient burnout,” particularly among those with chronic conditions like diabetes, is a major issue in healthcare. Dr. Tejaswi Kompala, head of cardiometabolic clinical strategy at Teladoc Health, suggests that artificial intelligence can revolutionise the approach to managing these conditions. AI can personalize care, predict at-risk patients a year in advance, and enhance healthcare providers’ ability to support patient experiences. It also helps identify signs of burnout and nonadherence, enabling clinicians to use their resources more effectively.
