Google AI enables non-sonographers to perform ultrasounds for maternal care

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google AI has developed an AI-assisted ultrasound system designed to enable healthcare workers without specialized sonography training to perform accurate gestational age assessments. This technology, detailed in JAMA Network Open, utilizes a "blind sweep" method with low-cost probes and has demonstrated generalizability across diverse clinical settings in the United States and Kenya. The system aims to significantly expand access to essential prenatal care, potentially reducing preventable maternal and fetal deaths globally. AI
