Built: AI Risk Stratification Tool for Homebirth Midwives
For Day 3, I built an AI-assisted risk screening and tracking tool designed for out-of-hospital midwifery care in Chat GPT & Claude
The tool:
- screens maternal, obstetric, and current pregnancy factors
- assigns weighted risk scores
- classifies clients as: 🟢 Low risk 🟡 Moderate risk (review needed) 🔴 High risk (consult / transfer likely)
- flags automatic red conditions
- generates a clinical summary with next steps and chart-ready documentation
Why this tool:
Most midwives are tracking risk mentally, which creates inconsistency and makes it harder to clearly identify when someone is moving out of low-risk criteria.
Test Scenario:
Second-time mom, 32 weeks
Previous cesarean (wants VBAC)
Singleton pregnancy
No major medical conditions
Desires low-intervention birth
Feels only moderately supported by current provider
Result from the tool:
🟡 Moderate Risk — Needs Midwife Review
Key factors identified:
- Prior cesarean (VBAC candidate)
- Moderate provider alignment concerns
Clinical considerations:
Client may still be appropriate for out-of-hospital care depending on provider experience and support structure, but requires individualized assessment and planning.
Next step:
Recommend consultation to review VBAC support, provider regulations, and birth planning options.
What I learned:
The tool works best when applied to real scenarios I already understand. It creates clarity quickly and turns what is usually a mental process into something structured and repeatable grabbing data points that are normally in different places through out a clients medical chart. This can be used in real time during prenatal visits, inputting labs and ultrasounds, as well as for use in the labor records during a birth.
