  • Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a significant role in transforming obstetrics and gynecology healthcare, from improved diagnostics in fetal imaging, prenatal risk prediction, and cervical cancer screening to preterm labor prediction and gender determination and early genetic testing in in vitro fertilization (IVF). The present study is a systematic review of the role of Artificial Intelligence in women's health.
  • Methods: At ISI -Scopus-Pub med-Medline- Google Scholar databases, we examined 17 studies conducted in the years 2014-2025 with Keywords "Artificial Intelligence" and "Women's health" Only 4 articles in the field of women's health were conducted as clinical trials.
  • Results: Artificial intelligence can play a fundamental role in advancing obstetrics and gynecology care. Including: In gynecology, AI is used to differentiate ovarian tumors from benign cysts, diagnose endometriosis, and assist in planning surgery. These applications can enable earlier diagnosis and earlier treatment. Increased diagnostic accuracy and power (e.g. in reading cytology or ultrasound images) has been proven, In such a way that AI can automatically recognize standard ultrasound views, measure fetal biometrics, and detect anatomical abnormalities such as fetal heart problems. These applications can reduce operator errors and increase access to advanced diagnostics in less experienced centers. Increasing the possibility of identifying patients at risk of premature birth, which can make preventive interventions more targeted and provide the basis for saving the life of the fetus and preventing potential risks and thus, it prevented preterm birth, which is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality and complications. Increasing the quality of medical work and reducing human resource costs in performing repetitive tasks such as similar nursing reports or routine ultrasound or scan reports are other effective applications of artificial intelligence. AI algorithms can analyze Pap smear images and pathology slides to identify precancerous and cancerous cells, and in some studies, accuracy at or above human levels has been reported. This technology could be particularly effective in countries with limited resources to increase screening coverage and quality. Research has shown an important role for artificial intelligence in predicting embryo implantation and survival, making embryo selection decisions, and increasing success rates.
  • Conclusion: Integrating AI could increase diagnostic accuracy, efficiency of the care system, and access to specialized services in women's health in the community, although ethical and privacy challenges must be considered.
