It provides a rapid estimate of gestational age through a simple blind-sweep scan \u2013 meaning no image interpretation or provider training is required. This advancement allows the tool to be used by an expanded set of users such as midwives and enables greater access to affordable ultrasound technology. Knowing an accurate gestational age with this tool allows clinicians to determine the right time for life-saving medications or procedures that might be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are committed to expanding obstetric POCUS adoption in low-resource settings and ultimately improving outcomes for mothers and babies,\u201d said Dr. Sachita Shah, Vice President, Global Health at Butterfly Network. \u201cOur AI-powered gestational age tool is an <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fjamanetwork.com%2Fjournals%2Fjama%2Ffullarticle%2F2821666&amp;esheet=54333708&amp;newsitemid=20251006886211&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=accurate&amp;index=4&amp;md5=56dec434fd9935c66a99813fca01c22a\">accurate<\/a>, fast and simple way for lower skilled healthcare workers in SSA to get expecting women the right care plans for the stage of their pregnancy journey. Additionally, the model was trained using data from African populations in an effort to ensure relevance and high-quality performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Butterfly Gestational Age Tool is not yet available in the United States, but has been submitted to the US FDA and is currently pending review.<\/p>\n<p><b>Butterfly\u2019s Milestone Year Advancing Maternal Health in SSA<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAmid this new technology innovation, Butterfly also celebrates the success of its 1,000 Probe Partnership. Through a Gates Foundation-funded deployment of 1,000 iQ+ handheld, whole-body POCUS probes and training of over 1,050 healthcare providers in SSA from September 2022 to December 2024, obstetrical ultrasound services have been integrated in more than 697 public health facilities in South Africa and Kenya. 1.8 million scans have been conducted as of July 2025, averaging 83,000 scans monthly. In partnership with Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), Global Ultrasound Institute, Kenyatta University and University of Pretoria, the first large-scale research project on maternal mortality is demonstrating that deployment of POCUS at scale has tremendous impact on provider satisfaction and patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, the newest Butterfly device, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.butterflynetwork.com%2Fiq3&amp;esheet=54333708&amp;newsitemid=20251006886211&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=iQ3%26%238482%3B&amp;index=5&amp;md5=9b2a043d020b91918e76a08fd307003f\">iQ3\u2122<\/a>, has been approved for use in South Africa and Kenya. Butterfly\u2019s AI offerings combined with its most advanced imaging quality, device ergonomics and charging speed, allow for greater POCUS availability, quicker scans and easier interpretations in these countries.<\/p>\n<p><b>Preliminary Data Suggests Positive Impact of Obstetric POCUS on Maternal Health<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIn Kenya, the most recent output from Kenyatta University&#8217;s analysis of the 1,000 Probe Partnership identified that after Butterfly was introduced, the volume of women presenting for antenatal care before 24 weeks significantly increased and more than 90% of patients reported satisfaction with the care received.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn South Africa, CHAI\u2019s preliminary data suggests a significant reduction in stillbirths, neonatal mortality and maternal mortality following use of midwife-led OB-POCUS. Across 191 facilities, 873 appropriate referrals to higher levels of care were made for expecting mothers, mainly for reasons of malpresentation, multiple gestation and ectopic pregnancy assessment. In 23 facilities, a total of 71 pregnant women were retained at a lower-level facility for a safe and appropriate vaginal delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, in the Eastern Cape province, initial analysis shows a 1.13% decrease in stillbirths and 20.6% decrease in maternal mortality in the 12 months since training was conducted.<\/p>\n<p>\nBeyond improving quality of care, Butterfly data shows how the company has made it faster and easier to use POCUS with dramatically reduced training needs for lower-skilled workers. The providers\u2019 scan times average just 1.3 minutes; they report high confidence detecting key maternal conditions (rising 23 points to 85% after training), and 99.6% of providers pass the rigorous live clinical assessments.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile other factors or new interventions introduced during the course of the project may have also contributed to these outcomes, overall, OB-POCUS from Butterfly is expected to be an impactful addition to health systems looking to improve neonatal and maternal health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Butterfly Network<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nButterfly Network, Inc.
