Conventional therapeutic interventions, which range from drug treatment to learning and training regimens, are often given at a fixed dose/intensity. This often leads to sub-optimal responses, or even none at all. Similarly, fixed intensity training can lead to plateaus in learning trajectories and training outcomes. This barrier will impact the field of digital therapeutics, where drug-based therapies may be complemented or replaced by learning and training platforms. A potential solution is to optimize training by identifying N-of-1 (single subject) training profiles that can then enhance learning trajectories through individualized training regimens. In this study, CURATE.AI, a mechanism-independent and indication-agnostic artificial intelligence (AI) platform, is used to identify N-of-1 learning trajectory profiles for healthy volunteers trained on the Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MATB), a flight deck simulator developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and United States Air Force. By leveraging modulated MATB training intensity in a prospective study, CURATE.AI successfully develops N-of-1 learning trajectory profiles that may actionably mediate training optimization on the single-subject level, by dynamically identifying training inputs that drive the best possible scoring outcome. Therefore, CURATE.AI-guided training may serve as a powerful optimization platform for digital therapy, student learning, cognitive decline prevention, and other indications. and non-pharmacologic, often involve fixed or static magnitudes of treatment. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] These treatments may be represented by dosage in the pharmacologic setting, or training intensities in learning-related domains. While fixed-dose drug treatment and fixed-intensity training are often used as a standard of care,
The field of digital therapeutics represents a gateway towards using artificial intelligence to optimize software‐based interventions. In article 1900023, Dean Ho, Christopher L. Asplund and co‐workers integrate CURATE.AI with the Multi‐Attribute Task Battery (MATB) platform in a prospective pilot study to identify N‐of‐1 profiles as foundations for dynamically personalized learning and cognitive training.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
