Dr. Eric Dy Abstract
The period from conception through the first 1000 days of life are the most critical for lifelong health and development, yet too often we are failing women and babies at this time. High risk pregnancies are on the rise, access to care is increasingly a problem, and pregnancy complications such as preterm birth now affect 1 in 10 babies. Despite these growing challenges, the way we deliver prenatal care has not fundamentally changed in over 60 years. We need smarter tools, better data, and scalable solutions to improve the health of moms and babies globally.
In this talk Bloomlife co-founder and CEO will share their strategy for designing the future of prenatal care. He will discuss how clinical grade wearables, in the hands of mom, has helped create the largest dataset on pregnancy in the world, and how AI applied to this dataset is seeding breakthrough screening and diagnostic tools to help solve global maternal health issues including preterm birth.
