Automated monitoring during pregnancy and birth

CSEM and the Women's Clinic of the University Hospital of Bern (Inselspital) are streamlining prenatal care and continuous monitoring for pregnancy and birth by utilizing wearable smart dry electrodes and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, they seek to use artificial intelligence (AI) to support the medical profession in analyzing CTG data. To this end, an AI-based expert system has been developed to assist in decision making.
