Artificial intelligence and augmented reality in gynecology

Abstract

Purpose of review: Artificial intelligence and augmented reality have been progressively incorporated into our daily life. Technological advancements have resulted in the permeation of similar systems into medical practice.

Recent findings: Both artificial intelligence and augmented reality are being increasingly incorporated into the practice of modern medicine to optimize decision making and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Summary: Artificial intelligence has already been incorporated into many areas of medical practice but has been slow to catch on in clinical gynecology. However, several applications of augmented reality are currently in use in gynecologic surgery. We present an overview of artificial intelligence and augmented reality and current use in medical practice with a focus on gynecology.
