Developing a Womb to World Interface (W2W)
​
We hope our informed imaging interface can facilitate first glimpses of the emerging child, by extracting important details from images of the parents own follicles to implanted embryo to the interactive face of the fetus.
After baby has arrived, parents can continue to contribute to the platform by uploading videos of their babies' movements. The platform will return annotated videos which identify newborn behaviours, capture moments for bonding or tag the motor features of early milestones.
By displaying to parents what information the computer vision algorithm identified as important to classifying a pregnancy's trajectory, we hope to make plain the data driving fertility decision-making.

Womb to World Imaging Approaches
Raman spectroscopy is a form of 'optical' imaging because it works like your eyes: a laser light is shone on samples collected from your ovaries at the Lister Hospital. Tagged light particles called 'Raman' let us estimate the speed light travels through the sample. The more light is absorbed, the more oxygen was used, an indicator of chemical composition.
4D ultrasound collects a time-stamped video of your baby in the womb, allowing healthcare specialist and researchers to record a video of your baby's movements. Like other ultrasound scans, 4D ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of organs and tissues inside the body.
Kinematics tracks the rate of movement by first identifying body parts, then tracing the trajectory of a limb or feature's starting and stopping points when amidst action. This action trajectory can be deconstructed into speed, path and smoothness of an action. Together these give us insight into infant motor development.
