Revolutionizing Healthcare: University of Jeddah Develops Innovative Device for Detecting Preterm Birth
In a groundbreaking development, the University of Jeddah has unveiled a cutting-edge device that utilizes the power of Internet of Things (IOT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to detect preterm birth, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency.
Early Detection for Better Outcomes
This innovative device not only calculates the percentage of amniotic fluid within the fetal sac but also identifies potential issues in the fetus at an early stage. This early detection enables timely medical interventions, ultimately improving outcomes by enhancing fetal lung development and ensuring placental health.
International Recognition for Saudi Innovation
The masterminds behind this groundbreaking innovation, Dr. Qamar Nayteh and Dr. Youssef Al-Sohafi from the College of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Jeddah, were awarded the prestigious gold medal and a special international award at Romania’s International Exhibition of Inventions, Innovations, and Technology, according to SPA.
“This achievement underscores the efficiency of Saudi innovations and their remarkable ability to compete on a global scale,” the report stated.
Revolutionizing Healthcare Monitoring
The device focuses on providing continuous health monitoring, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits, and ensuring immediate medical attention when necessary.
Utilizing advanced technologies such as ultrasonic sensors and AI, the device guarantees high accuracy, eliminates false alarms, and enables remote monitoring. Health professionals can conveniently track the patient’s condition through mobile applications, minimizing the requirement for regular hospital visits.
Furthermore, the device features an easy-to-use interface that empowers pregnant women to monitor amniotic fluid levels from the comfort of their homes, enhancing convenience and accessibility to crucial healthcare information.
