Artificial Intelligence And Women's Health

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise women's health in a time of increased awareness of health inequality. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) have begun to apply frameworks for the use of AI in decreasing wait times, providing accessible text-based services, and analysing medical images. However, the use of AI is not limited to clinical settings, and may also benefit users through the use of mobile apps and off-the-shelf wearable technology.

Women's health is a broad term, including sexual and reproductive health, gynaecologic and obstetric care. In the past these areas of research and treatment have been somewhat overlooked. Recently, there has been a push to examine the gender bias in healthcare, while acknowledging the need for inclusivity.
