Ultrasound for gestational age (GA) assessment is not routinely available in resource-constrained settings, particularly rural and remote locations. The TraCer device combines a handheld wireless ultrasound probe tablet with artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software that obtains GA from videos of the fetal head by automated measurements transcerebellar diameter circumference.The aim this study was to assess perceptions pregnant women, their families, health care workers regarding...
The PRECISE Network is a cohort study established to investigate hypertension, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth (described as "placental disorders") in Kenya, Mozambique Gambia. Several pregnancy or birth cohorts have been set up low- middle-income countries, focussed on maternal child health. Qualitative research methods are sometimes used alongside quantitative data collection from these cohorts. Researchers affiliated with also planning use qualitative methods, the perspective of...

The informal social ties that health workers form with their colleagues influence knowledge, skills and individual group behaviours norms in the workplace. However, improved understanding of these 'software' aspects workforce (eg, relationships, norms, power) have been neglected systems research. In Kenya, neonatal mortality has lagged despite reductions other age groups under 5 years. A rich is likely to be valuable inform behavioural change initiatives seeking improve quality...

Additionally, sought suggestions enhancing hospitalization Methods was...
The transcerebellar (TraCer) tool is a low-cost wireless probe linked to commercially available tablet computer, with an artificial intelligence based software interface created assess the fetal head circumference and diameter provide gestational age (GA). In this study we evaluate acceptability, feasibility role of TraCer in low-resource setting. was set two health facilities rural peri-urban coastal Kenya. Prior data collection, participants were shown video role-play on use at typical...
Abstract Introduction Initiatives to improve the quality of neonatal care in low- and middle-income countries are vital meet Sustainable Development Goal 3 reducing at most 12 deaths per 1,000 by year 2030. These initiatives have included enhancing human resources for health (HRH), post-basic nurse training. However, informal social ties that workers form with colleagues how these influence application learned knowledge skills individual group behaviours norms workplace, remained neglected...
