How AI could help doctors predict premature births

Season 2025 Episode 340 | 8m 30s

Last year, 1 in 10 U.S. babies was born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, which is considered preterm. That’s one of the highest premature birth rates among developed nations, according to the March of Dimes. We hear from parents of preterm babies about their experiences, and Ali Rogin speaks with an entrepreneur who’s using AI to help doctors predict when preterm births are likely.
