The world’s first artificial intelligence-powered (AI) ultrasound guided automated spinal landmark identification system, uSINE®

KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital has implemented the world’s first artificial intelligence-powered (AI) ultrasound guided automated spinal landmark identification system, uSINE®, to help women achieve successful spinal anaesthesia at the first attempt during childbirth. uSINE® harnesses technology to improve the quality of anaesthesia and to reduce complications.

**Precise identification of the spinal landmark**

**Close up - Precise identification of the spinal landmark**

uSine® transforms delivery of anaesthesia for women in childbirth:

Ultrasound imaging and AI identifies the right location and right angle of spinal needle insertion
Successful spinal anaesthesia at 1st attempt
Enhanced safety and precision leads to better health outcomes
Clinical trials showed success rates of 1st attempt at 92% (healthy weight women) and 82% (obese women), compared to conventional method of 70% (healthy weight women) and 43% (obese women)
