Having considered the potential benefits and risks, all the articles conclude that AI needs to be integrated into midwifery curricula [4,6,10,13,31,32]. Midwives should be able to participate in and lead AI initiatives, as well as conduct AI-related research in healthcare [6,10,32]. In order to successfully incorporate AI into midwifery practice, midwives need to receive appropriate education [13] and it is important that midwifery students are prepared for their future careers, as AI plays a significant role in healthcare [4,31]. Furthermore, integrating AI into midwifery curricula can increa

Interpreting the results correctly requires years of experience, and even then, it is not perfect. Now, AI systems are being trained to analyze CTG data in real time, alerting midwives earlier if there are signs of distress.

Midwives are specialized maternity care clinicians who support birthing people’s reproductive health through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Midwives, ob/gyns, and family physicians are trained to deliver babies in California.

These benefits are largely gained through AI’s ability to quickly interrogate large volumes of data for patterns, trends and anomalies beyond human capacity through the use of algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning; accurately identify specific interventions and alerts for those patients at risk; automatically adjust decision making in response to newly added data; and automate routine, mundane, and time-consuming tasks that do not require specialised nursing or midwifery knowledge or skills, allowing nurses and midwives to perform tasks more efficiently8-10. Despite providing advan

It is possible to increase job satisfaction of health professionals by improving their working conditions [7]. In this direction, the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the field of health is very valuable in terms of facilitating decision-making in midwifery practices, providing quality health care services, reducing workload, increasing performance and reducing documentation [8]. However, midwives have concerns about the positive aspects of AI as well as some problems such as ethical, social and cultural concerns, technical problems, professional threat, lack of emotion, empathy problem [9, 10].

AI technologies improved diagnostic accuracy, patient monitoring, risk assessment, treatment personalization, and expedited drug discovery. Moreover, by automating routine tasks and reducing administrative burdens, AI supports midwives in focusing ...
