Researchers at IIT Madras and THSTI have developed an India-specific artificial intelligence model called 'Garbhini-GA2' to accurately determine the age of a foetus in pregnant women during the second and third trimesters. The model reduces errors in estimating gestational age for the Indian population by almost three times.
The release informed that the researchers used genetic algorithm-based methods to develop Garbhini-GA2, which resulted in being more accurate than the current Hadlock and recent INTERGROWTH-21st models when applied in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The Garbhini-GA2 model reduces the GA estimation median error by more than three times when compared to Hadlock.
