Researchers have developed a deep learning model that can predict preterm births by analyzing electrical activity in the woman’s uterus during pregnancy. Suzy Lipinski, M.D., a board-certified OBGYN at Obstetrix of Colorado, part of Pediatrix® Medical Group in Denver, Colorado, was not involved in the study but shared her input on whether the deep learning technology could help solve the problem of preterm birth in the U.S. "Being able to predict who is at risk before they present in labor would be highly beneficial," said Dr. Lipinski. "The use of a deep learning model seems to hold promise; however, this study has a relatively small number of patients, so it cannot be determined how applicable this is to a larger population."
