The Use of AI in Obstetrics and Gynecology

A recent article published in MedicalExpo by Abigail Saltmarsh, explained the different ways AI and other technology has been used in obstetrics and gynecology. The first being a wireless electronic fetal monitor. This allows women to walk around rather than having them confined to their hospital beds, which has been proven to be beneficial during labor. She also explained that it decreases the confusion in distinguishing the mother’s heart rate versus the baby’s. She also explained the use of robotics to conduct procedures for diseases such as endometriosis, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. By using the robots in certain procedures, it can lead to less trauma to the area and faster recovery time for the patient.

It was also explained in the article how AI can be used to help detect fetal heart rate and uterine contractions as well as indicate the possibility of complications with preterm labor. AI can also be applied to ultrasounds/MRI’s in obstetrics and to identify cancer in mammograms.
