JAMA Associate Editor Yulin Hswen, ScD, MPH, spoke with Robert S. Rudin, PhD, a senior information scientist at RAND, and a professor of policy analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School, about a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open examining the potential benefits of using AI for between-visit asthma symptom monitoring.
