The WHO and Google have developed a machine learning system to interpret 'blind sweep' ultrasounds performed by frontline workers without specialized training. By standardizing the scanning pattern, this approach aims to address the global shortage of diagnostic imaging access, potentially reducing preventable maternal mortality.
