Abstract The amalgamation of artificial intelligence (AI) with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) demonstrates an upgradation in neonatal ophthalmology. This review investigates the pertinency of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in health care domain to better understand how they are leveraged for the purpose of early detection, diagnosis and management or staging treatment requirements of ROP. Recent studies are reviewed showing the potential of AI to interpret retinal imaging, revise screening protocols and estimate disease progression, with the aim of alleviating healthcare systems and patient outcomes. In addition, we investigate the barriers to deployment of AI in clinical practice and highlight the importance of work at the intersection of different fields with structured validation efforts. By reviewing the existing literature, this paper intends to present a summary of AI implementation in ROP setting and shed light on its advantage as well as limitations when applying this cutting-edge technology for neonatal care.
