Graduate student Gwen Sincerbeaux recently received a Fulbright award to research the effectiveness of PlacentaVision, an AI-based risk assessment tool, in Uganda. PlacentaVision uses AI to assess placentas post-birth for conditions that may impact mother or baby, such as neonatal sepsis and preeclampsia. Her study will be conducted in a low-resource facility where incidences of these conditions are higher, to identify and treat them as soon as possible to support mother and infant health outcomes.
