Precision Treatment for COVID-19: An MDP-Powered Revolution
Our finite-horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework personalizes COVID-19 treatment strategies, adapting to real-time patient data and disease progression. Integrating Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) for state-transition modeling, this approach enhances accuracy and delivers optimized treatment sequences, improving patient outcomes and resource allocation in dynamic healthcare environments.
Transforming Clinical Decision-Making with AI
This research pioneers an AI-driven approach to optimize COVID-19 treatment, offering a scalable solution for precision medicine. By integrating dynamic data and patient-specific factors, our MDP model not only aligns with clinical practice but significantly enhances patient outcomes by delaying severe complications and improving resource efficiency.

This research utilizes a finite-horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) to optimize COVID-19 treatment strategies. It integrates real-world patient data, including disease severity, comorbidities, and gender-specific risk profiles. A Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network is employed for state-transition modeling, and the MDP is solved using a Discounted Hierarchical Backward Induction (DHBI) algorithm to navigate complex state spaces efficiently.
The framework shows high concordance with physician-prescribed treatments, achieving agreement rates of 82% for male and 77% for female patients. It significantly delays the onset of severe complications, demonstrating clinical benefit and offering a scalable decision-support tool for precision treatment in COVID-19 care.
The MDP model's performance was validated against classical machine learning models, consistently outperforming them across all metrics (overall accuracy 85%, F1-score 0.83, AUC 0.91). This superior performance is especially notable in high-risk patient states (88% accuracy), highlighting the MDP's strength in sequential decision-making.

Real-World Impact: Gender-Specific Treatment Adaptations
The MDP model successfully identified gender-specific treatment patterns. Female patients, both at low and high risk, received more dual therapy recommendations compared to males, potentially due to a more complex interaction of comorbidities. This highlights the model's ability to incorporate individual patient characteristics and tailor interventions, leading to improved outcomes. For instance, in high-risk female patients, polytherapy recommendations increased to 15%, and comorbidities treatment to 25% for prolonged illness durations (11-20 days). This level of granular personalization is critical for effective disease management.
- Female patients (high risk) showed increased dual therapy (50%) and polytherapy (15%).
- Comorbidities treatment for high-risk females increased to 15%.
- These adaptations reflect the model's ability to cater to diverse health management needs.
