Abstract
There are numerous behavioural, social and environmental factors that influence the symptomatology of a chronic health condition. These factors and how they manifest are often very specific to the individual, which creates challenges for applying macro population health approaches and insights to guide treatment. An artificial intelligence system, referred to as a non-axiomatic reasoning system (NARS), is presented. Learning in NARS is incremental and ongoing. A practical application of NARS in chronic pain management is demonstrated, as NARS can establish associations with behavioural activities that might exacerbate pain levels and revise the strengths of these associations over time. The system has potential application in any condition requiring patient-centric adaption.
