Description:

Emerging FemTech innovations are reshaping global women’s health by addressing critical gaps in maternal care. In this FIGO regional webinar, leading experts will explore how artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technologies, advanced medical devices and digital tools are being adapted to meet the unmet needs of those experiencing pregnancy and childbirth.

Distinguished speakers will highlight cutting-edge developments such as AI-enabled point-of-care (POC) ultrasound, wearable health devices and smart platforms that are improving outcomes for mothers and their babies, particularly in low-resource settings.

By connecting clinical guidelines with real-world practice, the discussion will examine how these innovative tools are empowering healthcare providers, enhancing access to care and reshaping the delivery of maternal health services.

Can the integration of AI into clinical practice help us achieve more precise, scalable, and cost-effective maternal care? Join us as we explore the possibilities – together.
