Plain Language Summary
Systematic review examining how artificial intelligence tools can personalize semaglutide therapy in T2DM, proposing an integration framework combining AI predictions with clinical decision-making. Reviews AI applications using EHR data, wearables, and CGM for predicting individual semaglutide response, adverse event risk, and optimal dosing. Provides a conceptual framework for precision semaglutide prescribing—addressing the clinical challenge that population-level trial outcomes mask wide individual variability in semaglutide effectiveness and tolerability.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a rapidly growing global health concern requiring innovative treatment methods. Ozempic (semaglutide), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has proven consistent effectiveness in lowering blood glucose levels, supporting weight loss, and minimizing cardiovascular complications. In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) elevates diabetes care yet complements these efforts by converting raw data from wearable devices, electronic health records, and medical imaging into practical insights for efficient, tailored, and customized treatment plans.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to examine current evidence of AI-driven methods to optimize Ozempic-based T2D therapy.
METHODS: A total of 18 peer-reviewed articles were identified, revealing four dominant thematic clusters: (1) patient stratification and risk prediction, (2) AI-enhanced imaging for body composition changes, (3) cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment, and (4) personalized AI-driven dosage.
RESULTS: Across multiple metrics, such as glycated hemoglobin reduction, weight loss, cardiovascular benefits, and adverse event mitigation, AI-based approaches outperformed standard fixed-dose regimens. A theoretical framework is proposed for AI-Ozempic integration, with continuous data collection, AI processing, clinical decision support, real-time support, and real-time feedback and modeling iteration refinement cycles.
CONCLUSIONS: Significant gaps remain a persistent challenge, including the need for large-scale randomized controlled trials, longer follow-up periods, explainable AI models, regulatory validation, and practical strategies for routine clinical implementation. The findings emphasize the AI's potential to transform semaglutide therapy while delineating important paths for future research.
