Inovação em telessaúde: e-book interativo com inteligência artificial para casos clínicos em teleginecologia e obstetrícia

Abstract

Telehealth resources and tools are increasingly integrated across all levels of care. In Primary Health Care (PHC), they enhance problem-solving capacity and reduce unnecessary referrals. This professional master’s dissertation aimed to develop an interactive e-book, supported by artificial intelligence, on complex and underexplored modalities of telehealth and telemedicine applied to gynecology and obstetrics in Brazilian public PHC. The study followed an applied research design with a qualitative, literature-based methodology. The resulting product was the interactive e-book Clinical Cases: Tele-Gynecology and Obstetrics in Primary Care (ISBN 978-65-01-55289-7), designed as a digital educational resource. It employed Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to foster critical thinking and active learning among health professionals, and incorporated an AI-driven virtual assistant to provide complementary explanations. The interactive version is available at http://bit.ly/4eCMmxE.The e-book explores advanced telehealth applications in gynecology and obstetrics, with emphasis on teleinterconsultation, telecolposcopy, and teleultrasound. The integration of AI tools with an accessible, responsive design ensured usability for professionals with varying levels of digital literacy. Although time constraints prevented formal product testing during the program, the e-book itself represents a valuable starting point for raising awareness of telehealth in women’s care, with potential to reduce physical barriers and expand timely access to quality services.By focusing on telediagnostic approaches that strengthen the problem-solving capacity of gynecological and obstetric care—areas often underserved in primary care—this work represents an initial step toward advancing tele-gynecology in PHC and provides a foundation for future research and development.
