Garbhini- GA 2 model

February 28, 2024

An India-specific artificial intelligence model to precisely determine the gestational age (GA) of a foetus in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, has been developed.
The model has been designed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute, Faridabad.
It is part of an interdisciplinary group for advanced research on birth outcomes — the DBT India initiative (GARBH-Ini) programme.
The Garbhini-GA2 is the first late-trimester GA estimation model to be developed and validated using Indian population data.
- Currently, models used for the Western population are in use which could prove erroneous when applied in the later part of pregnancy due to variations in the growth of the foetus in the Indian population.
The Garbhini-GA2 accurately estimates the foetus’ age, reducing error by almost three times.
