AI precision dosing combines pharmacokinetic models, which describe how a drug is absorbed, distributed and cleared, with a patient's own characteristics and measured drug levels to recommend an individualized dose.
For vancomycin, Bayesian dosing software estimates each patient's clearance from one or two blood levels to target an exposure range. This approach is favored by the 2020 US consensus guideline over dosing based on trough levels alone.
Pharmacokinetics summarizes a drug's behavior with a few parameters. Clearance (CL) is the volume of blood cleared of drug per unit of time. Volume of distribution (V) describes how widely the drug spreads. Half-life follows from both. For vancomycin, the exposure that best predicts efficacy is the area under the concentration-time curve over 24 hours (AUC24). At steady state, AUC24 equals the daily dose divided by clearance. In 2020, a revised consensus guideline from ASHP, IDSA, PIDS and SIDP recommended AUC-guided dosing for serious MRSA infections. It set a target AUC/MIC of 400 to 600, assuming an MIC of 1 mg/L, and preferred Bayesian software. This replaced the older practice of aiming for troughs of 15 to 20 mg/L. The change was made because trough levels predict AUC poorly and high troughs were linked to kidney injury. Older methods used nomograms or first-order equations with two levels drawn at steady state within the same dosing interval. Bayesian methods start from a population model developed in published studies, which gives typical parameter values, how they change with weight, kidney function and age, and how much patients vary. The software then updates those values with the patient's measured levels. It can work with a single level, with levels not at steady state, and with irregular dosing. Commercial examples include DoseMeRx, InsightRx and PrecisePK. A common misconception is that these tools are mysterious AI. Most are built on established pharmacometric methods, known as model-informed precision dosing. Machine learning is now being added for choosing or averaging models and for predicting clearance from EHR data. Another misconception is that software removes the need for judgment. If a patient differs sharply from the population used to build the model, for example with extreme obesity, dialysis or rapidly changing kidney function, the model's starting assumptions may mislead.

Model-informed precision dosing is spreading beyond vancomycin and aminoglycosides to other drugs whose exposure varies widely between patients, such as some beta-lactams, anticancer agents and biologics. Faster drug-level assays and EHR integration are key requirements. Machine learning may help most in choosing the right model for patients outside the populations the models were built on, but it needs validation that it predicts future levels well. Adoption will depend on workflow, assay access, reimbursement and outcome studies. Evidence of better clinical outcomes, not just better target attainment, is still being developed for many drugs.
For a patient with MRSA bacteremia, a pharmacist enters vancomycin dose times and two measured levels. The software estimates a 24-hour AUC of about 720 mg·h/L and suggests a lower dose to bring exposure into the 400 to 600 range.
Before any levels are drawn, the software uses a population model with the patient's weight and estimated kidney function to propose a loading dose and a first maintenance regimen.
For a patient with cystic fibrosis, whose aminoglycoside clearance often differs from typical adults, Bayesian estimation from measured levels guides tobramycin dosing.
In a transplant center, busulfan exposure is estimated from blood samples after an early dose, and later doses are adjusted to reach a target exposure.

Garis panduan mengesyorkan AUC/MIC 400 hingga 600, menggantikan sasaran palung 15 hingga 20 mg/L.
Pada keadaan mantap, jumlah pendedahan selama 24 jam bersamaan dengan dos harian dibahagikan dengan pelepasan, itulah sebabnya menganggarkan kelegaan adalah penting kepada dos.
Panduan ini menerangkan bahawa palung adalah penahan yang tidak sempurna untuk AUC, dan sasaran palung yang agresif dikaitkan dengan nefrotoksisiti.
Oleh kerana ia bermula daripada model populasi, kaedah Bayesian boleh memperindividukan dos daripada data yang jarang dan tidak teratur.
Istilah sebelumnya mengekalkan anggaran berhampiran nilai populasi melainkan data pesakit sangat menyokong sesuatu yang berbeza.
