Garbhini- GA2

Context

Researchers have developed Garbhini-GA2.

Garbhini-GA2

Garbhini-GA2 is an important development in the field of maternal healthcare in India. It is the first-ever India-specific artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to precisely determine the gestational age (GA) of a fetus during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

 

Features

  • Purpose: Accurately estimating the gestational age of a fetus is crucial for providing appropriate care to pregnant women and determining precise delivery dates.
  • Significance: Previously used GA formulas were developed for Western populations and could be inaccurate when applied to the Indian population due to variations in fetal growth patterns. Garbhini-GA2 addresses this gap by providing a more accurate estimation method specifically for the Indian context.

 Benefits

  • Reducing errors in gestational age estimation, leading to better informed medical decisions.
  • Enhancing the quality of prenatal care by allowing for tailored interventions based on the accurate assessment of fetal development.
  • Potentially contributing to a reduction in maternal and infant mortality rates.

Garbhini-GA2 is still under development and requires further validation in diverse regions across India before widespread clinical deployment. However, its initial results are promising and hold significant potential for improving prenatal care in the country.
