ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical global health crisis, threatening the efficacy of essential antimicrobial therapies and significantly contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Addressing this challenge necessitates robust antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs designed to optimize antimicrobial prescribing practices. The Hidoc Initiative, a leading digital health platform, leverages artificial intelligence (AI)-driven strategies to equip healthcare professionals (HCPs) with real-time, evidence-based guidance on antimicrobial use. This article examines the core digital interventions employed by the Hidoc Initiative, evaluates its impact on clinician engagement, and explores the broader role of AI-driven digital platforms in advancing AMS efforts.
