Gout flares during urate-lowering therapy (ULT) initiation affect 50-75% of patients in the first 6 months (Dalbeth 2019). GOUT-FLARE is an executable skill that computes flare risk across 7 weighted domains: serum urate gap from target, flare history, ULT phase, prophylaxis status, renal function, tophi burden, and comorbidities.

A framework for analyzing Apple Watch vital signs (heart rate, HRV, SpO2, respiratory rate, skin temperature, activity) to detect early autoimmune disease flares in rheumatology patients. Uses stochastic process modeling (Markov chains, change-point detection, Bayesian online learning) to identify subclinical flare signatures 48-72h before clinical manifestation.
