Abstract

The growing burden of chronic diseases has underscored the urgent need for personalized, data-driven approaches to healthcare delivery. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative technology capable of enhancing chronic disease management through predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, and individualized treatment optimization. This review examines the role of ML in advancing personalized patient care by exploring foundational techniques such as supervised and unsupervised learning, deep neural networks, and reinforcement learning. It highlights practical applications across diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, respiratory disorders, and cancer survivorship, emphasizing the value of ML in risk prediction, medication adjustment, and remote monitoring. Additionally, the paper discusses key enablers of personalized care, including patient stratification, precision dosing, and the integration of wearable devices and digital platforms. Emerging innovations such as federated learning, explainable AI, multimodal data fusion, and digital twin systems are explored for their potential to support secure, transparent, and context-aware healthcare delivery. The review also addresses critical challenges related to bias, data privacy, clinical integration, and regulatory oversight. Ultimately, this work advocates for a multidisciplinary framework that combines technological innovation with policy reform to ensure equitable, scalable, and sustainable deployment of machine learning in personalized chronic disease care.
