NCT ID NCT07661433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that estimates a baby's weight from ultrasound videos. Researchers will compare the AI's estimates to standard measurements and the actual birth weight. The goal is to see if the AI tool is accurate enough to help doctors, especially when specialists are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI diagnostic ultrasound tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could provide a quick, easy way to estimate fetal weight, potentially improving care in settings without specialist ultrasound expertise.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on accuracy, not patient outcomes. The AI tool is for research only and not yet ready for clinical use. Results may not apply to all pregnancies.
