ABOUT US
High quality prenatal care for all
At PRENAITAL, we work to give everyone equal access to prenatal diagnostics of the same high quality.
We develop AI models that improve diagnostics of pregnant women.
Today, less than half of all at-risk pregnancies are identified. In order to prevent death, disability, birth defects and chronic diseases such as diabetes in mother and child, it is important to identify these high-risk pregnancies early. Our AI models can detect 25-50% more high-risk pregnancies than the existing clinical practice.
Our AI models can detect about 30% more high-risk pregnancies than the existing clinical practice.

Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to take advantage of AI to detect all pregnancies at risk, ensuring early identification and timely intervention. By providing accurate, accessible, and scalable solutions, we empower healthcare providers to address pregnancy complications effectively, even with limited specialized staff.
Our vision is to revolutionize maternal healthcare by using AI to detect and manage pregnancies at risk, ensuring every expecting mother receives the care she needs, when she needs it, regardless of healthcare resources or expertise available
