Abstract

Embodiments in the present disclosure relate generally to computer network architectures for machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dynamic patient guidance. Embodiments automatically update patient guidance in the patient care plan, based on the effectiveness of the guidance to date, attributes of the patient, other updated information, ongoing experience of the network, and updated predictions of possible patient outcomes and metrics.
