Artificial Intelligence Enhances Accuracy in Child Abuse Estimation for Better Protection and Intervention Strategies - Market-News24

A new study shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can greatly enhance the accuracy of detecting child physical abuse in emergency departments. Presented at the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting, the research highlights how existing coding methods, like ICD-10-CM, often misestimate abuse rates. By using a machine-learning model that analyzes both injury and abuse-specific codes, researchers ...

AI Enhances Detection of Child Abuse Cases

A new study found that artificial intelligence can better identify instances of physical child abuse in emergency rooms compared to traditional diagnostic coding methods. Researchers developed a machine-learning model that more accurately estimated abuse prevalence based on high-risk injuries and physical abuse indicators.
