Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jan 14:289:333-336. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210927.

Abstract

For the past ten years, the healthcare sector and industry has witnessed a surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies being used in many different medical specialties. Recently, AI-driven technologies have been utilized in medical care for pregnancy. In this work, we present a scoping review that explores the features of AI-driven technologies used in caring for pregnant patients. This review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Our analysis revealed that AI techniques were used in predicting pregnancy disorders such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, along with managing and treating ectopic pregnancies. We also found that AI technologies were used to assess risk factors and safety surveillance of pregnant women. We believe that AI-driven technologies have the potential to improve the healthcare provided to pregnant women.
