Stanford AI creates digital twin to combat early labor
Stanford researchers use AI to simulate immune systems and find drug combo that delays preterm labor.
In brief
Stanford researchers use AI to simulate immune systems and find drug combo that delays preterm labor. Stanford's AI model shows low-dose aspirin and lansoprazole reduce risk of preterm labor by 15 times over aspirin alone. Originally reported by Sfgate.
Stanford researchers create digital twin
Researchers out of Stanford University created a digital twin of pregnant women's immune systems using ai models.
Drug combo may reduce preterm labor risk
Low-dose aspirin and lansoprazole show clear signs of combating immune system dysfunction linked to preterm labor.
Preterm labor affects 1 in 10 US pregnancies
In the U.S., about 1 in 10 pregnant women go into preterm labor before 37 weeks gestation with no warning signs.
Immune system changes during pregnancy
Pregnant women's immune systems weaken early and increase pro-inflammatory markers near delivery to prepare for labor.
Dr. Brice Gaudilliere leads study
Dr. Brice Gaudilliere, Stanford professor of anesthesiology, has studied pregnancy immunology for over 10 years.
AI model shows 15x delay in labor
The drug combo delays labor 15 times higher than aspirin alone in the digital twin system.
FDA approval for Phase 2 trial
The team received FDA approval to start a Phase 2 trial with human patients in coming months.
At a glance
Stanford's AI model shows low-dose aspirin and lansoprazole reduce risk of preterm labor by 15 times over aspirin alone.
