Abstract: Emergence of health-related smartphone applications and their wide dissemination in public as well as healthcare practitioners has undergone criticism under the scope of public health. Still, despite methodological issues curbing the initial enthusiasm, availability, safety and, in certain cases, documented efficacy of these measures has secured regulatory approval. Bearing in mind these pitfalls, we describe the necessary steps towards implementation of deep learning techniques in the specific clinical context of women’s health and infertility in particular.
