The "Worst Test in Medicine" Has a 21st-Century Solution 🚀
March 2026Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) has been called the most unreliable test in clinical practice. It drives thousands of unnecessary C-sections every year because it lacks context. But what if we looked at fetal compensation instead of just a flickering line on a screen?
A new article on KevinMD discusses the future of labor safety—moving beyond the "Category II" stalemate by leveraging high-precision AI, the Fetal Reserve Index (FRI), and multi-variant physiological data (BMI, age, uterine activity). We can reduce surgical interventions without compromising safety. It's time for a data-driven evolution in the delivery room.
