Electrohysterogram Data Augmentation Using Generative Adversarial Network for Pregnancy Outcome Prediction
Detecting preterm birth early is crucial but challenging. Our latest research uses advanced AI (Generative Adversarial Networks) to create highly realistic synthetic uterine electrical signals (EHG). This overcame data limitations, allowing our machine learning model to distinguish between term and preterm pregnancies with 98% accuracy. This breakthrough paves the way for more reliable, non-invasive tools to improve pregnancy monitoring and outcomes.
