AI dashboard aims to predict unplanned C-Sections in real time
NCT ID NCT07430358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial is testing a software dashboard that uses artificial intelligence to continuously estimate a woman's risk of needing an unplanned C-section during labor. The study involves 400 first-time mothers with a single baby in head-down position. Half of the participants will have the AI dashboard visible to their care team, while the other half will receive standard care. The goal is to see if the AI tool can help reduce unnecessary C-sections or improve other outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI decision-support dashboard (software)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors make better decisions during labor, potentially reducing unnecessary C-sections and improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with 400 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or populations. The AI might not improve outcomes or could even lead to over-reliance on technology.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent * Able and willing to provide written informed consent * Nulliparous (no prior birth ≥ 24 weeks' gestation) * Singleton live pregnancy * Cephalic (vertex) fetal presentation * Gestational age ≥ 37+0 weeks * Admitted to the labor ward in labor (cervical dilation ≥ 3 cm with regular contractions) or undergoing induction or augmentation of labor with intent to proceed to vaginal delivery * Planned trial of labor (no scheduled or elective cesarean delivery) * Receiving intrapartum care at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Mount Scopus campus Exclusion Criteria: * Planned or elective cesarean delivery prior to labor admission * Multifetal gestation * Non-cephalic fetal presentation * Gestational age \< 37+0 weeks * Major fetal anomaly expected to affect labor or neonatal management * Contraindication to vaginal delivery (e.g., placenta previa, invasive placentation, prior uterine surgery precluding labor) * Category III fetal heart rate tracing on admission requiring immediate delivery * Maternal hemodynamic instability or other life-threatening condition necessitating urgent surgical or critical-care intervention * Inability to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment, intoxication, or other incapacity * Concurrent participation in another interventional obstetric study that could confound outcomes or increase risk
