  The use of AI analytics in health informatics has seen a rapid growth in
recent years. In this talk, we look at AI analytics use in managing chronic
health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, etc. We focus on the challenges in
managing these conditions especially with drug-free approaches due to the
variations in individual circumstances. These variations directed the research
into user-centric approach leading to variety of research questions. In this
short paper, we give examples from recent and current research work and
conclude with what, in our opinion, to be the next steps and some remaining
open research questions.
