Artificial Intelligence Applications in Pregnancy: Prenatal Monitoring in the Era of Digital Health
Öz
Pregnancy spans approximately 40 weeks and consists of three trimesters. During this period, the health of the mother and the safety of both the mother and fetus must be carefully monitored and managed. Pregnant women should receive comprehensive prenatal care, where clinical data, regular laboratory tests, ultrasound images, and other important information that can help in making accurate clinical decisions are thoroughly evaluated. However, the data obtained during pregnancy—such as ultrasound images, laboratory tests, and Electronic Health Records—can be diverse and complex, making it difficult to analyze the data effectively. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies can assist in analyzing this heterogeneous data. AI refers to technologies that enable machines to learn, make decisions, and solve problems in a manner similar to human intelligence. These technologies have the potential to support doctors in making informed decisions regarding medical diagnoses and treatment options for pregnant women. Although AI has various applications in healthcare, there is limited information in the current literature regarding its use during pregnancy. In the literature, the use of AI in different obstetric fields is listed as follows: prenatal diagnosis, fetal heart rate monitoring, prediction and management of pregnancy-related complications (such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and placenta accreta spectrum), and labor. It can be said that AI is a promising tool for assisting in clinical practice. However, the evidence reported to date is quite limited, and further studies are needed to validate the clinical applicability of AI. Additionally, clinical training designed for using these systems should be better provided, and evidence-based guidelines should be developed to enhance the strengths of AI systems and minimize their limitations. The aim of this study is to examine the use of AI-based technologies in pregnancy and their integration into clinical practice, evaluating the potential impacts of these technologies on prenatal diagnosis, complication management, and treatment decisions.
