There is a lack discussion surrounding the unconsented use of women’s clinical data for CTG analysis training in AI. Women should know when and how their data is being used, and benefit from their data use when corporations profit from it.
Informed consent is a critical principle in healthcare. A recent Australian survey revealed that many women lacked sufficient information and choice about fetal monitoring methods. Only 35% reported being asked for consent. This highlights a significant issue in maternity care, and it is well past time it was addressed.
This is what CTG monitoring practice looks like in the Netherlands. How does this compare to where you are?
How are we doing when it comes to talking to women about fetal monitoring options and respecting their decisions? #InformedChoice #SharedDecisionMaking #MidwiferyContinuityOfCare #RespectfulMaternityCare
