Imagine a world where advanced computer technology helps doctors give your newborn the best care possible. That’s exactly what’s happening with the exciting developments in artificial intelligence, particularly in the field of neonatology—the care of newborn babies.

In a groundbreaking review, researchers have looked at how machine learning and deep learning are being used to improve neonatal care. These AI technologies are revolutionizing areas like early diagnosis, monitoring vital signs, and even spotting eye problems in premature babies.

From analyzing baby brain scans to predicting which newborns might need extra care to thrive, AI is making a big difference. This review dives deep into over 100 studies from the past few decades to highlight what’s working well and where there’s room for improvement.

The future looks promising with new AI models on the horizon. Soon, neonatal intensive care units could be even more equipped to give babies the best start in life. It’s an exciting time where technology meets tender care, ensuring our littlest ones get the best chance to grow healthy and strong.
