Optimizing Drug Dosage and Medication Management for Geriatric Patients with Artificial Neural Networks

In this paper, we utilize ANNs to investigate how medicine dosing and management might be improved for the elderly population. The suggested strategy calls for the use of patient-specific data as inputs for the ANNs, such as age, renal and hepatic function, body mass index, and preexisting prescription profiles. The neural network model dynamically changes drug doses using the combination of the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm, Backpropagation, and the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm to maximize therapeutic benefits and reduce the likelihood of adverse drug events. The research highlights the improved accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1 score of the suggested technique compared to numerous conventional methods. As a result, the suggested system has great potential to revolutionize medication management for the elderly population since it is more personalized, flexible, patient-safe, effective, and efficient in its use of resources.
