Predicting Gestational Diabetes and other maternity-related conditions using machine learning


30 Second Summary

The project aims to use machine learning to predict gestational diabetes and other maternity-related conditions early in pregnancy, enabling timely interventions and personalised care. It will develop a predictive model, an interactive web app for clinicians to input patient data and receive predictions, and reports on the model’s accuracy and effectiveness.

Maternity-related conditions, such as gestational diabetes, can have significant impacts on the health of both the mother and baby if not identified early. Current approaches often detect these conditions after symptoms appear, potentially delaying important interventions. This project aims to use machine learning to predict the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes and other related conditions early in pregnancy, allowing for timely interventions and personalised care.

The aim of this project is to develop a machine learning model that predicts the likelihood of gestational diabetes and other maternity-related conditions based on patient data. The model will serve as a decision support tool for clinicians to provide proactive and personalised care, improving health outcomes for mothers and babies.

The project will generate :

Note10-year plan Alignment

“NHS 10-year plan shifts: Sickness to Prevention”: predicting the likelihood of gestational diabetes and other maternity conditions early in pregnancy to enable timely, personalised preventative intervention rather than detection after symptoms appear.

“NHS 10-year big bet: AI to drive productivity”: providing clinicians with an interactive tool that uses a predictive model to support proactive, personalised decision-making at the point of care.
