Summary
Advances in Care host Erin Welsh is joined by Dr. Mirella Mourad, maternal-fetal medicine specialist at NewYork-Presbyterian and co-director of the Preterm Birth Prevention Center at Columbia, to talk about her groundbreaking work in obstetrics and high-risk pregnancy care. Along with her collaborator Dr. Kristin Meyers from Columbia’s School of Engineering, Dr. Mourad has developed a patient-specific “digital twin” of the cervix: an innovative model designed to improve the assessment, diagnosis, and management of preterm birth. This cutting-edge technology enables clinicians to better identify patients at risk, personalize treatment strategies for successful pregnancy outcomes, and advance research in the field of maternal-fetal medicine.
