Sonio: Deep-Learning for Detection and Diagnostic of Prenatal Malformations

Project description

Image recognition and genomics for prenatal malformation detection

In developed countries, 1 in 33 children is born with a congenital malformation, impacting their health and families. Fetal ultrasound is the standard non-invasive screening method, but it misses 50 % of malformations due to its complexity and reliance on the operator’s skills. Accurate diagnosis requires obtaining the right images and combining them with blood or genetic tests. The EIC-funded d3pm project will enhance the Sonio platform by integrating image recognition and genomics, assisting obstetricians and sonographers during foetal ultrasounds to improve prenatal diagnosis. Central to this system is the Clinical Brain, which combines foetal medicine and AI to identify 1 600 anomalies and 450 syndromes, prioritising them based on medical history and observed phenotypes.

Objective

1 child out of 33 is born with a congenital malformation in developed countries, leading to mortality & disability which impact the children, the families & healthcare system. Fetal ultrasound is the standard non invasive examination to screen for malformations, but 50% of malformations are not detected at routine exams as fetal ultrasound is very complex, time-consuming & highly operator-dependent. One needs to acquire the right images, interpret them & combine them with blood or/and genetic tests to get the right diagnosis.
We created Sonio, an AI one-stop modular software platform to guide OBGYNS & sonographers during fetal ultrasound. The core is the Clinical Brain, a unique mix between fetal medicine & AI, aware of 1.6k anomalies & 450 syndromes. It can prioritize anomalies to identify the most probable diagnoses based on medical history & observed phenotype. With EIC support, we will fully build image recognition & genomics into our platform to revolutionize prenatal diagnosis.
