AI Technical Summary
Current chronotherapy practices do not account for an individual's unique and potentially shifting circadian rhythm, leading to suboptimal dosing times that may not align with the patient's biological rhythms, potentially reducing therapeutic efficacy and increasing adverse effects.
A system and method for personalized chronotherapy that utilizes sensor data, including biomarkers like cortisol and melatonin, to determine an individual's circadian rhythm, and adjusts the administration of therapeutics using an infusion pump or dialysis machine based on a personalized therapeutic schedule aligned with the patient's circadian rhythm.
Enhances therapeutic efficacy by aligning drug administration with circadian-dependent biological functions, reducing adverse effects, and improving treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.
