The next generation of prenatal care: how computational biology is changing obstetrics: Conversation with Dr. Liat Shenhav and Dr. Matthew Hoffman

Many headlines exclaim the wonders of AI and medical research. What better place to leverage the advantages of AI than in research about pregnancy that positively impacts everyone's health, both in the present and the future? And by that I mean the mother and the baby during the pregnancy and the baby's health trajectory into the future--and maybe also the mothers as well.

Today's guests are an uncommon duo, a computer scientist, and an OB who are using big data algorithms and clinical experience to uncover the biological basis for some of the biggest issues in pregnancy. In particular, they're interested in the root causes of vascular issues that may develop into preeclampsia and or preterm birth.

Today we talk about a new way for researchers to approach some of the biggest puzzles in pregnancy.
