Artificial Intelligence-Based Clinical Decision-Making in Erectile Dysfunction: a Narrative Review

Curr Urol Rep. 2024 Dec 11;26(1):22. doi: 10.1007/s11934-024-01251-3.

Abstract

Purpose of review: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great potential in erectile dysfunction (ED) diagnosis and treatment. This review aims to summarize AI-based clinical decision-making in ED.

Recent findings: Based on the literature search, forty-seven articles related to AI and ED were analyzed and their findings were summarized. AI may help diagnose ED and offer treatment for it. Developing AI chatbots may also be beneficial for ED patients who are embarrassed to seek treatment. However, there are deficiencies in AI programs and a lack of accuracy in offering precise diagnoses and treatments for ED. AI technology integrates positively into ED clinical decision-making processes and needs progressive research to gain precision and efficiency.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; ChatGPT; Deep neural networks; Erectile dysfunction; Machine learning.
