PROJECTS
- Toward XAl-enhanced machine learning for maternal health risk assessment in low-resource healthcare settings in Bangladesh
Funded by: Institute of Research and Training (IRT), HSTU, Bangladesh
Position: Principal Investigator (PI)
Description: Maternal healthcare remains a pressing concern in developing regions, where early identification of high-risk pregnancies is vital to reducing maternal and neonatal complications. This project proposes a machine learning-based framework for predicting maternal health risks among Bangladeshi women, utilizing a curated dataset that includes clinical, physiological, and historical health indicators.
