Elythea

Solution Pitch 

The Problem

Mothers in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are more likely to die from missed medical complications. Prior access and knowledge to medical support can empower them to deliver in tertiary care hospitals, get prophylactic treatment, and allow care providers to prepare support like blood products in advance if they are at-risk for a complication like hemorrhaging.

The Solution

More than 80% of maternal mortalities are preventable with early intervention. Currently, doctors miss more than 50% of mothers who have life-threatening complications, and wait until labor to start doing manual risk assessments.

Elythea's proprietary ML models catch life-threatening obstetric complications (like postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia/eclampsia, emergency c-section, preterm labor, and more) as soon as the first visit. The program automatically analyzes relevant demographic and clinical risk factors, flags high-risk patients, and provides evidence-based interventions to prevent the complication altogether.

Elythea has completed prospective international clinical trials across the USA, Cameroon, and Nigeria demonstrating that its models have better performance than the current gold standard clinical methods.

Stats

• 1,000 lives directly impacted through clinical trials across Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Ghana.
