A Personalized AI Approach to Alleviating Hypertension with Causal Modeling
Using Causal Modeling and Reverse-Counterfactual Reasoning to Generate Personalized Lifestyle Recommendations for People with Hypertension
For many people, it starts with simple chest pain.
Nothing to worry about.
They think it’s the type of pain that just comes and goes, like a ghost. A couple weeks later, after a standard checkup, they discover they have hypertension or high blood-pressure. They’re a little worried now, but not too much. They say to themselves, “Oh, my uncle/father/brother had hypertension, and he’s totally fine.”
People who have hypertension know that their lifestyle is a big factor in their condition, but they simply don’t know how to change. Keto diets and daily workouts just seem too much and too far away; they’re big broad strokes that aren’t unique to them.
So these people with hypertension don’t worry about it, continuing to take medication but never trying to eradicate the root cause of their condition.
