Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming allergology by enhancing diagnostics, personalizing treatments, and optimizing patient management. From environmental forecasting to advanced diagnostics, AI leverages machine learning algorithms to analyze complex data, identify biomarkers, and predict allergic reactions. Despite its potential, challenges regarding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and integration into clinical workflows still need to be addressed. Interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical frameworks are essential to harnessing AI’s benefits and redefining the future of care of allergic diseases.
