Big Data and AI Can Guide Cannabis Medicine

In order for cannabis medicine to make the big leap to mainstream acceptance, a few things likely have to take place. Doctors, not just cannabis providers, need to become more comfortable discussing and prescribing the plant. Regulations need to become more homogenous and universal, like the pharmaceutical industry. Pharma companies need to advance more cannabis-derived medicines for approval.

In order for those things to happen, robust data around the efficacy of cannabis treatments needs to be gathered and widely understood. In the meantime, cannabis patients and providers are often stuck with a personal trial-and-error approach to finding the right treatment for their own needs. RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) is one company that is pushing forward in all of these areas. The company’s smart delivery devices, database with over 200,000 users, and artificial intelligence-powered data engine combine to form a powerful Internet of Things solution with the potential to more fully legitimize cannabis medicine while making it more effective for current patients.

Moving the Industry Forward

Regulators like the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) need data to make informed decisions. Big pharma companies need data to even undertake research programs aimed at developing new potential drugs. Doctors need data to feel comfortable giving prescriptions or recommendations for treatment.

Since the cannabis industry is so young, was prohibited for so long, and still faces a myriad of patchwork and inconsistent regulations, cannabis medicine is severely lacking the large datasets that are crucial for the industry’s development. In this regard, RYAH is well-positioned to provide all interested parties with the information necessary for growth and advancement.

RYAH’s Data Sharing Benefits

The company’s smart devices and data solutions are gaining traction with cannabis researchers across the globe. The controlled dosing, easily recorded personal feedback from patients, wealth of data stored in RYAH’s Cloud database, and AI-powered data interpretation and organization give researchers tools that make their studies more effective and efficient. RYAH is involved in trials and studies in Britain, Italy, Italy again, and the Channel Islands. The company also has deals in France and New Zealand for distribution and potential inclusion in clinical trials and major studies.

RYAH’s goal is to provide regulators, researchers, and drug companies all the data they need to mainstream plant-based medicine, and it looks like the company is on its way.

Improving the Patient Experience

RYAH’s smart devices, connected apps, and AI data interpreter can help patients and doctors effectively hone a treatment regimen according to the patient’s own feedback combined with that of the other users in the system. Without the insights from a large patient pool and the ability to easily record, track, and interpret personal experiences and preferences, many cannabis patients can get a little lost. Which strain? What is the proper dose? Has this particular type of treatment worked for other people?

Watch how Ryah technology Benefits to Patients and Doctors

RYAH’s system offers control and assurance, not only to researchers and patients involved in clinical trial programs but also to normal, everyday medical cannabis users in search of a little guidance. To many, using cannabis presents a great unknown fraught with risks. RYAH helps to alleviate those concerns and bring the cannabis patient experience more in line with that of conventional patients.

The Takeaway

This type of system is right in line with the larger trend toward tele-health and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve patient outcomes. Overall, the market for remote treatment is growing at a 26.5% CAGR, expected to reach $475 billion in the next five years. It’s a huge trend in healthcare, and RYAH is at the forefront of the movement in the cannabis industry.

The two aspects of RYAH’s business go hand in hand, improving treatments for cannabis patients while providing data and a platform that enables research and regulation that will further legitimize the industry as a whole. Keep an eye out for continued developments in the RYAH story.
