Planning a Pregnancy with Artificial Intelligence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pregnancy with Artificial Intelligence

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 234))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present different state-of-the-art artificial intelligence methods that help planning up a pregnancy. The OB-GYN doctor + Artificial Intelligence combo can determine accurately by analyzing prenatal tests’ results regarding the couple’s chances to conceive naturally. In assisted reproduction techniques, artificial intelligence can speed up the process by indicating which embryos will result in a live birth or not.

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother, Mark Twain
