Intrapartum foetal monitoring is used to identify oxygen deprivation to the foetal brain during labour and delivery, to reduce the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, the current “gold-standard” approach to foetal monitoring is not accurate, is susceptible to misinterpretation and is unreliable.
The AI-4-Life team will develop a novel AI-based system to monitor the vital signs of mother and baby during labour to quickly identify any issues.
