Prof Patricia Maguire and her team are working to save those lives through a revolutionary risk stratification tool called AI PREMie, a solution thatassists clinical decision making in real-time, enabling more accurate, earlier diagnosis and personalised treatment that will save lives.

The transdisciplinary team behind AI PREMie, drawsupon cutting-edge biomedical, clinical and machine-learning expertise including consultant haematologist and Full Clinical Professor Fionnuala Ní Áinle, UCD School of Medicine, and consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Professor Mary Higgins from the National Maternity Hospital, in addition to biomolecular and biomedical researchers fromUCD Conway SPHERE research groupand AI experts from UCD School of Computer Science - in partnership with Microsoft and SAS.   

AI PREMie is currently being piloted in the three main maternity hospitals in Ireland, capturing 50% of all Irish births (National Maternity Hospital, Rotunda Hospital and Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital). The project was ranked by IRCAI-UNESCO among the Top 100 AI Solutions for Sustainable Development.
