What is Known:

Pediatric allergies are heterogeneous and common, inflicting substantial morbidity and societal costs.

The field of artificial intelligence is undergoing rapid development, with increasing implementation in various fields of medicine and research.

What is New:

Promising applications of AI in pediatric allergy have been reported, but implementation largely lags behind other fields, particularly in regard to use of advanced algorithms and non-tabular data. Furthermore, lacking reporting on computational approaches hampers evidence synthesis and critical appraisal.

Multi-center collaborations with multi-omics and rich unstructured data as well as utilization of deep learning algorithms are lacking and will likely provide the most impactful discoveries.
