Fetal Age and Machine Learning Initiative Study

The purpose of the FAMLI Study is to develop a simple and inexpensive ultrasound tool that may be used to assist in performing ultrasound exams on pregnant women. In countries where medical resources are limited, this technology could provide detailed information on the wellbeing of the baby and mother. The images from the ultrasounds will be used to train artificial intelligence / deep learning models to estimate gestational age and other diagnoses.
