Ethiopia continues to face a high burden, with maternal mortality estimated at 195 per 100,000 live births, neonatal mortality at 27 per 1,000 live births, and perinatal mortality rates ranging from 37‰ to 124‰ depending on the level of care. These outcomes remain substantially higher than the targets set under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030.\n\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all pregnant women receive at least one ultrasound scan before 24 weeks of gestation, yet nearly two-thirds of women worldwide-especially in LMICs-lack access to this service. Barriers include high costs of ultrasound machines, limited technical expertise, and shortages of skilled sonographers in rural primary care.\n\nArtificial Intelligence-driven Point-of-Care Ultrasound (AI-POCUS) represents a promising innovation to expand prenatal imaging in resource-constrained settings by equipping frontline health workers with AI-supported diagnostic capabilities. This study, conducted under the Tsinghua University BRIGHT (Bringing Research to Impact for Global Health at Tsinghua) program, will evaluate the clinical effectiveness, feasibility, cost, and scalability of AI-POCUS in rural Ethiopia. A three-arm cluster randomized controlled trial will compare two AI-enabled ultrasound technologies-BabyChecker (Netherlands) and a China-developed AI-POCUS device-against standard antenatal care without ultrasound. Findings will generate robust clinical and policy-relevant evidence to guide the sustainable implementation of AI-enabled maternal health interventions in sub-Saharan Africa.",[89,90,91,92,93,94],"Pregnancy","Pregnancy Complications","Preterm Birth","Fetal Growth Restriction","Stillbirth and Fetal Death","Pregnancy Abnormal",[96,97,98,99,100,101],"Artificial Intelligence","Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)","Maternal and Neonatal Health","Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial","Sub-Saharan Africa","Rural Centers","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-09-05",{"date":105,"type":106},"2025-09-12","ACTUAL",{"date":108,"type":83},"2025-09-30",{"date":110,"type":83},"2026-08-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
