Researchers have created an AI model using ultrasound to accurately forecast expectant mothers’ delivery timelines.
Key Details
- 1AI software developed by Ultrasound AI predicts time to delivery using ultrasound images.
- 2Model trained on over 2 million de-identified images from pregnant women.
- 3Validated on data from women delivering at the University of Kentucky (2017-2021).
- 4System estimates days until delivery and predicts likelihood of preterm birth.
- 5Described as a milestone with potential to improve prenatal care, especially in low-resource settings.
Why It Matters
Accurate prediction of delivery timing can enhance patient counseling, risk stratification, and resource allocation in maternal-fetal medicine. This represents a significant advance for imaging AI in obstetrics, contributing to better outcomes in women's health.
