商品描述
Maternal morbidity in the United States remains alarmingly high, despite rapid medical advancements. The disparities in maternal outcomes - particularly across racial, socioeconomic, and geographic lines - are stark and persistent. This book investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) might help reduce these disparities, offering a critical examination of both its potential and its limitations within the evolving maternal health landscape.
This book engages with complex questions about how AI can complement or supplement the work of health care providers. It draws on the latest data and research to explore AI's role across a range of med tech applications, including chatbots, electronic medical records, virtual coaching, and social media. Through evidence-based analysis, it considers how these technologies might prevent maternal morbidity and mortality, and promote health equity. This book also takes a carefully balanced approach, acknowledging the risks of AI - such as algorithmic bias - and evaluates when and how AI is most or least effective in meeting patient needs.
This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals working in maternal health and related fields. It offers a timely and nuanced perspective on the intersection of technology and care.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
母體健康在美國的發病率仍然令人擔憂，儘管醫療技術迅速進步。母體健康結果的差異——特別是在種族、社會經濟和地理方面——依然明顯且持續存在。本書探討人工智慧（AI）如何可能幫助減少這些差異，並對其在不斷演變的母體健康領域中的潛力和局限性進行了深入的檢視。
本書涉及關於AI如何補充或輔助醫療提供者工作的複雜問題。它利用最新的數據和研究，探索AI在各種醫療科技應用中的角色，包括聊天機器人、電子病歷、虛擬輔導和社交媒體。通過基於證據的分析，本書考慮這些技術如何可能預防母體發病率和死亡率，並促進健康公平。本書還採取了謹慎平衡的方式，承認AI的風險——例如算法偏見——並評估AI在滿足病人需求時最有效或最無效的情況。
這是一本對於從事母體健康及相關領域的學生、研究人員和專業人士來說至關重要的資源。它提供了有關技術與護理交集的及時且細緻的觀點。
