Several novel and promising tools have been developed to estimate penile curvature, some utilizing AI-driven models and others employing automated computational models. These platforms aim to improve curvature assessment in various settings, including at-home evaluation of Peyronie's disease, in-office assessments using three-dimensional (3D) methodologies, and preoperative evaluations for hypospadias repair. In general, these new platforms produce highly accurate and reproducible angle estimates in non-clinical studies, however their effectiveness and relation to patient outcomes has had limited evaluation in clinical settings. Significant advancements have been made in the assessment and estimation of penile curvature in both Peyronie's and pediatric patients, largely driven by AI and other automated platforms. Continued research is needed to validate these findings in clinical studies, confirm their efficacy, and assess their feasibility for real-world applications.
