Clinical researchers at the University of Nairobi (UON) are developing an Artificial Intelligence tool that will help predict pregnancy risks in Africa and break new ground in understanding how vaginal infections affect women’s reproductive health and pregnancy outcomes.
The team, led by Clinician-Scientist Prof Moses Madadi, says AI will be matched up together with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, to power a five-year research project whose findings will aid medics in understanding the microorganisms present in various vaginal infections and their role in specific pregnancy outcomes.
