The Role of AI in Predicting Hypertension Risks Before They Happen

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a global health challenge affecting over 1.28 billion adults worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Often dubbed the “silent killer,” hypertension typically presents no symptoms but significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and kidney failure. Traditional methods of diagnosing and managing hypertension, while effective, are largely reactive, focusing on treating the condition after it develops. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming this landscape by enabling predictive analytics to identify individuals at risk before hypertension manifests, paving the way for earlier intervention and improved health outcomes.
