Question: what affect do you think your envention will have on this generation?

Hi!

I’m going to define my “invention” as an early warning score that is used in hospitals to identify women who are at risk of getting sick during pregnancy. I think this will redefine what it means to be healthy during pregnancy, and enable women to not worry about their healthcare. Currently the guidelines for monitoring women during pregnancy are the same as the normal adult population, which are quite wide (so you are very very sick by the time you alert), and there is no acknowledgement that our bodies change during pregnancy, and that is normal.

So… that is quite a long-winded explanation which I hope makes sense. I’m excited about seeing my research be used in hospitals 🙂
