Google Study Tests AI-Guided Blind Sweep Ultrasounds for Pregnant Women in Kenya and Chicago

Google researchers, working with Northwestern Medicine and Jacaranda Health, trained healthcare workers to perform "blind sweep" ultrasounds analyzed by machine learning models.

The models estimated gestational age and fetal presentation as accurately as a trained sonographer in a study of 1,000 mothers each in Nairobi and Chicago. The AI processes results on the device, so it needs no electricity supply or Wi-Fi.
