Artificial Intelligence as a Tool in Diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Older Adults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background/Objectives: The primary objective of our study was to find a potential use for images generated by imagistic investigations by comparing the appearance of a healthy digestive tract to that of a pathological one. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving 60 older adult patients admitted to and followed up at a primary center in Romania. Our focus was on different diagnostic methods and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools integrated into the electronic health records system. Results: Currently, imagery, laboratory values and electronic health records (EHR) can also be used to train AI models. Comparative imagery to predict the appearance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be used as a predictor model. Conclusions: Our findings indicate with certainty that training a tool in the diagnosis and prevention of relapses in older adults with IBD is promising for further integrating these models into patient care.
