Growth Intelligence
Growth Intelligence is a clinical decision support platform that analyzes routine ultrasound scans to improve detection of fetal growth restriction and macrosomia. The system projects birth weight against the INTERGROWTH-21st standard, flags at-risk pregnancies with transparent reasoning, and ranks patients on a clinician worklist. In an internal validation of 814 pregnancies, it caught 92 of 117 growth-restricted fetuses and 206 of 254 macrosomic fetuses.

Problem
Fetal weight estimation from ultrasound is least reliable at the extremes—exactly where clinicians need to make high-stakes decisions about induction, surveillance, or cesarean delivery. ACOG reports that ultrasound sensitivity for detecting birth weight above 4,500 grams ranges from only 10 to 45 percent, and roughly half of all fetal growth restriction cases go undetected even in high-income countries. Systematic errors in current formulas further skew risk classification, mislabeling some fetuses as normal when they actually cross the threshold for enhanced monitoring.
Solution
Growth Intelligence takes the scans that sonographers already perform and converts them into actionable, quantified intelligence for every pregnancy in a practice. The platform places each scan on the INTERGROWTH-21st reference, projects a weight at delivery with a confidence range, and ranks active pregnancies by need for attention on a clinician worklist. Every flag displays the rule it crossed, the threshold met, the scans used, and an organically derived confirmation rate from the practice's own recorded birth outcomes. The system distinguishes early "Watch" flags from confirmed "Alert" flags based on the strength of accumulated evidence, and it auto-generates clinical documentation notes for direct copy into the patient chart. In internal validation across 814 pregnancies, the platform detected 92 of 117 growth-restricted fetuses and 206 of 254 macrosomic fetuses.
Target Audience
Primary users are obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and hospital or clinic-based obstetrics practices seeking to improve detection of fetal growth restriction and macrosomia from routine ultrasound data.
Features
- Worklist that ranks every active pregnancy by latest scan, with flags indicating the finding and the trust level for each alert
- Projected birth weight at term with a confidence range placed on the INTERGROWTH-21st reference standard
- Alert transparency showing the specific rule crossed, threshold values, contributing scans, and historical confirmation rate from the practice's own data
- Evidence-based escalation logic that issues early "Watch" flags and only promotes to "Alert" when a third scan or 28-week milestone corroborates the finding
- Retrospective validation service that analyzes a practice's de-identified historical pregnancy data (abdominal circumference, gestational age, birth weight) at no cost and returns a written comparison against the practice's existing method
- One-click clinical note generation that drafts documentation in a ready-to-copy format for the patient chart
- Rescan recommendation logic that names the specific week for a follow-up scan when additional data would settle the call, reducing unnecessary rescans (22 rescans did the work of 340 in internal validation)
