Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Address Adolescent Sexually Transmitted Infections: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Background: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into daily life provides a unique opportunity to address significant health concerns. In particular, the tech-savvy adolescent population could benefit from AI-enhanced access to reproductive health services, especially for the prevention, screening, and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Objective: This research aims to evaluate the impact of AI technology on improving adolescents' access to reproductive health services related to STIs. The study involves a systematic review of literature published from 2020 to 2024 across various databases. Methods: A systematic review methodology was employed, utilizing databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Science Direct, and IEEE-XPLORE. Keywords used in the search included "artificial intelligence," "adolescents OR teenagers," and "sexually transmitted infections OR sexually transmitted diseases." Results: The review identifies AI as a pivotal tool in sexual education, particularly through the use of interactive and engaging chatbots. AI facilitates innovative educational interventions, allowing vulnerable and marginalized groups, including adolescents, to discuss and learn about sensitive topics like STIs. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant potential of AI in improving sexual health education for adolescents. The limited availability of research in this area underscores the importance of this study in advancing knowledge and addressing gaps in the application of AI for adolescent STI prevention and treatment.
