Ultrasounds are a critical tool to help diagnose and care for mothers and their newborns. But in low- and middle-income countries, 50% of pregnant women never receive an ultrasound scan. New portable, AI-enabled ultrasound devices are making ultrasound technology more affordable and accessible—making this technology available to many women for the first time. On #AI Appreciation Day, we’re celebrating powerful innovations like these. https://gates.ly/4fk8MnB

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation thank you for your focused efforts to keep more babies and mothers alive. We have met with AI companies that would like to enhance their technology which is being trained to predict issues that may lead to prematurity to also recognize signs of an impending stillbirth. This would be life-saving as our country has a shortage of well trained ultrasound techs and there are also many maternity care desserts without OB’s. Would love to see if this program could be adopted in the US too to help reduce our negative outcomes which are unacceptable for a high income country.
