Every year, more than 35,000 infants in the U.S. suffer brain injuries at birth, many of them considered preventable. Wavelet Medical, a Yale spinout, has developed what may become the first AI-powered, noninvasive fetal EEG platform designed to monitor fetal brain activity in real time during pregnancy and labor. Using abdominal sensors and proprietary algorithms, the technology aims to detect neurological distress earlier and more directly than traditional fetal heart rate monitoring. As the platform moves closer to clinical adoption, it reflects a growing shift toward AI-driven tools in maternal and neonatal care. Read more here.
