Abstract

Menopause is a critical period characterized by significant physiological and psychosocial changes that can negatively impact women's quality of life. AI-enabled technologies offer innovative opportunities for monitoring and managing menopause-related symptoms. AI-based applications regularly collect and analyze women's physiological and psychological data through mobile health apps, smart wearable devices, and online platforms, contributing to the development of personalized recommendations and early intervention strategies. They also help early identify menopause-related risks such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and depression. However, the use of AI in menopause management presents challenges such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and a lack of digital literacy among older women. For AI applications to be effective and sustainable, they must be designed with cultural, inclusive, and behavioral interventions in mind. Increasing digital literacy and ensuring data security among menopausal women will increase their trust in AI technologies and broaden their use. This research aims to examine menopause management using AI-enabled digital solutions.

Özet

Menopoz kadınların yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyebilen önemli fizyolojik ve psikososyal değişimlerin yaşandığı kritik bir süreçtir. Yapay zekâ destekli teknolojiler, menopozla ilişkili semptomların izlenmesi ve yönetiminde yenilikçi fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Yapay zekâ tabanlı uygulamalar, mobil sağlık uygulamaları, akıllı giyilebilir cihazlar ve çevrim içi platformlar aracılığıyla kadınların fizyolojik ve psikolojik verilerini düzenli olarak toplayarak analiz eder ve kişiye özel öneriler ile erken müdahale stratejileri geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunur. Ayrıca menopozla ilişkili kardiyovasküler hastalık, osteoporoz ve depresyon gibi risklerin erken tespit edilmesine yardımcı olur. Bununla birlikte, menopoz yönetiminde yapay zekâ kullanımında veri gizliliği, algoritma yanlılığı ve ileri yaş grubundaki kadınlarda dijital okuryazarlık eksikliği gibi zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Yapay zekâ uygulamalarının etkili ve sürdürülebilir olması için kültürel, kapsayıcı ve davranışsal müdahaleler içeren yapıda tasarlanması gerekmektedir. Menopoz dönemindeki kadınların dijital okuryazarlığın artırılması ve veri güvenliğinin sağlanması, menopoz dönemindeki kadınların yapay zekâ teknolojilerine güvenini artırarak kullanımını yaygınlaştıracaktır. Bu araştırmada yapay zekâ destekli dijital çözümlerle menopoz yönetiminin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
