Core Tip
Core Tip: Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the management of functional gastrointestinal disorders by integrating clinical, physiological, and imaging data for precise diagnosis, refined subtyping, and tailored treatments. Preventive approaches, including those informed by traditional Chinese medicine, show promise in improving patient outcomes. However, data variability and limited model transparency remain key challenges. Advances in interpretable and clinically validated AI will support a shift from reactive treatment to proactive and preventive care.
