The technology, developed by perinatal software company PeriGen, uses AI and machine learning to monitor maternal vital signs, fetal heart rate, uterine contractions and labor progression, according to a May 13 press release.
The technology can also combine and analyze labor and delivery data for multiple births to identify factors and opportunities for continuous safety and quality improvement.
“By taking patient safety to the next level in the labor and delivery process, our hospitals hope to prevent avoidable complications and provide more support for complex deliveries,” said Lynn Simon, MD, president of clinical operations and chief medical officer of Community Health Systems.
Community Health Systems will present early results following the implementation of the new technology the week of May 16.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
