Contributors from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) evaluated the growing impact of artificial intelligence on maternal and child health, offering important assessments regarding research and clinical applications in this field.

The Place of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

While AI-based approaches offer significant opportunities to overcome long-standing challenges in healthcare, these technologies require continuous research and careful validation processes to generate a positive impact.

Research and Clinical Applications

Addressing research gaps in biological systems and genomics, multi-modal data integration, and integrating AI into clinical care are among the critical focus areas.

Ethical and Safety Principles

Strategic research based on the mission of NIH and NICHD will ensure that AI advances maternal and child health in an evidence-based, unbiased, transparent manner tailored to the needs of families.
