Assessing the Risk of Premature Birth by Measuring Stiffness of the Cervix: Dr. Sabrina Badir, Pregnolia
How can the gentle vacuum
assess cervix in pregnant women
in 2 seconds?
Why should you measure cervical stiffness in pregnant women? Apparently, it is an earlier sign of preterm labor than cervical length. We're speaking about a medical device that measures how stiff the cervix is.
You'll hear about
- how common is preterm birth
- how the cervix works during pregnancy
- how do you assess cervix stiffness during pregnancy
how to assess risk pregnancies fast and accurate
and also
- about the unexpected benefits of startup speed dating
- feedback from the Swiss startup environment
- and the art of startup pitching
Dr. Sabrina Badir is a CEO of Pregnolia, a Swiss femtech startup. During her Masters and PhD at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) she invented a method for assisting a more accurate diagnosis of preterm birth. Spoiler: there's a vacuum involved.
Pregnolia is at the stage of early commercialization, available in Switzerland and Germany. Pregnolia System measures the stiffness of the cervical tissue of a pregnant woman and its changes during pregnancy, instead of cervical length which traditionally has been used as a preterm labor indicator.
