Algorithmic Detection of Hormonal Patterns in Women's Health using Artificial Intelligence
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Women's hormonal patterns underlie critical aspects of health, including menstrual cyclicity, fertility, pregnancy maintenance, and the transition to menopause. Deviations in these patterns can signal conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, or impending menopause, with significant health implications. In recent years, computational algorithms and machine learning (ML) have been increasingly applied to detect, predict, and classify such hormonal variations. Examples range from predicting menstrual cycle phases via wearable-derived data, to classifying endocrine disorders like PCOS using electronic health records and hormone levels. These methods promise improved accuracy and personalized insights beyond traditional calendar-based or single-threshold approaches.
