Indian Scientists Develop AI For Accurate Foetal Age Estimates, Tool Can Help Reduce Mortality Rates In Country

With the new AI tool, the error in estimating gestational ages for the Indian population is reduced by about three times, compared to Hadlock, a model based on a formula developed for the West.

A major benefit of the AI tool, Garbhini-GA2, is that an accurate estimate of gestational age can help reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. This is because by knowing how many weeks a woman has been pregnant for, healthcare professionals can identify preterm babies.

Indian scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can accurately estimate the gestational age of a human baby in the second and third trimesters. These are extremely critical periods for both the foetus and the mother because the baby undergoes organ development, and the mother experiences changes in her body. Therefore, correctly determining the gestational age during these phases can lead to improved gestational care and better pregnancy outcomes.  The second
