Breaking barriers in women’s pelvic health: claims-based economic analysis and healthcare utilization of an AI care program compared to usual care
Participation in this AI pelvic care program was associated with markedly lower healthcare utilization and spending compared with usual care, largely linked to fewer surgical interventions. These findings highlight the potential of accessible, guideline-concordant AI pelvic care to lessen healthcare spending associated with PFD and inform payor-oriented care delivery models.
