abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare is transforming nursing practice, with paediatric nursing standing at the frontier of this innovation. This paper explores emerging AI tools used in paediatric nursing, including Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), predictive analytics, robotic assistance, and AI-driven patient monitoring. A review of current literature highlights how AI contributes to early diagnosis, personalized treatment, workload reduction, and improved patient outcomes in paediatric populations. Challenges such as ethical considerations, data privacy, and the digital divide are also discussed. The paper concludes with future directions for AI implementation and the implications for paediatric nursing education and policy.
