Smart Normal Labor: Healthcare Providers' Experience With an AI-Based Mobile App

Официальное название

Smart Normal Labor From Healthcare Providers' Perspective: Evaluating Clinical Decision-Making Speed, Diagnostic Accuracy, Satisfaction, and Experience Using an AI-Based Mobile Application

Обзор

Pregnancy and childbirth are uniquely important events in women's lives because they are accompanied by major physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Maternal satisfaction, emotional well-being, and perceptions of childbirth are strongly influenced by the quality of labor management. A woman's childbirth experience is shaped by multiple factors, including communication, autonomy, and active participation in the decision-making process. These factors are widely recognized as important indicators of the quality of maternity care. \[1\] Recent demographic changes and global population growth have placed increasing demands on healthcare systems, particularly maternal health services. High birth rates in some regions, combined with shortages of trained healthcare professionals, have created a need for scalable, adaptable, and innovative models of care. In response to these challenges, digital health technologies have emerged as promising tools to enhance the quality of maternity care and support both healthcare providers and pregnant women. \[2\]

Подробное описание

General Objective

To evaluate the impact of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart normal labor application on healthcare providers' clinical decision-making speed, diagnostic accuracy, satisfaction, and overall clinical experience during the management of normal labor.

Specific Objectives

To assess the effect of the AI-based smart normal labor application on the speed of clinical decision-making among obstetricians and nurses during the management of normal labor.

To evaluate the effect of the AI-based smart normal labor application on diagnostic accuracy during the management of normal labor.

To evaluate healthcare providers' satisfaction with the AI-based smart normal labor application.

To assess healthcare providers' overall clinical experience while using the AI-based smart normal labor application during normal labor management.

To identify barriers and facilitators associated with the adoption and usability of the AI-based smart normal labor application in clinical practice.
