Abstract

In our rapidly evolving world, technology stands at the forefront, driving remarkable advancements across various sectors. One of the most notable changes is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in healthcare, starting a revolution that has the power to change women's health all over the world. Developed nations are already witnessing the benefits. However, a significant portion of the global population in underdeveloped regions is lagging behind, resulting in a noticeable disparity. This is particularly evident in women's healthcare, an area already facing global inequities. As we witness a digital revolution, we examine the progressive steps taken in women's healthcare. AI and robotics are key to this transformation. The services range from using data to predict cancer trends to tailor-made medicine and technologies in reproduction. This editorial addresses the existing gaps and the digital divide, exploring the necessity for an inclusive approach in technology design and implementation to ensure equitable healthcare access. Furthermore, it highlights the imperative role of multi-sectoral collaborations to foster innovation while mitigating risks. The clear goal is to build a future where all women, no matter where they live, can get good healthcare, helped by AI and robotics, bringing in a time of healthcare for all. It's crucial for everyone involved to come together to make a healthcare system that everyone can use, helping women everywhere with the help of new technology.
