On this episode, Greg speaks with Professor Patricia Maguire, Biomedical Scientist and Director of University College Dublin’s Institute for Discovery. Maguire’s research focuses on platelets, an interest that began 25 years ago when her father suffered his first heart attack and she recognized the need for better diagnostics in the clinic. Maguire explains that platelets are a ready source of biomarkers. In one project, her team works closely with three large maternity hospitals in Dublin, Ireland, on a study that has found new diagnostic markers for preeclampsia. Their goal on the project is to bring diagnostic data from blood platelets together with all other available data on a mother during pregnancy and apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to extract insights. Those insights can be delivered to a clinician to inform critical care decisions, such as when a baby should be born. Maguire says the ultimate dream of the team is to partner with government and industry to bring the preeclampsia diagnostic to every woman who needs it, saving lives. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of democratizing AI and analytics to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration from academia into the real world.

In the US, too many moms are dying around the time of childbirth. Every year, more than 700 mothers die from complications related to pregnancy and delivery, leaving behind grieving families as well as urgent policy questions about how we – as a country – can do better. Between the 1980s and 2010, the maternal mortality rate doubled in the US. Clearly, birth should be safer for moms in the US. All moms. But it’s not. Some moms are at greater risk. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage. This episode was written in conjunction with Katy Kozhimannil and Rachel Hardeman, who are 2016 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Leaders fellows. Interdisciplinary Research Leaders is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation led by the University of Minnesota.

In this week’s episode we’ll be talking about the racial disparities in maternal health, and the current challenges faced by black women and birthing people during pregnancy and after childbirth. My guests are the amazing founders of the organisation Five X More, Tinuke Awe and Clotilde Abe. We discuss the worrying statistics surrounding black women and birthing people in the UK, what is currently being done to reduce these figures, and how we can all help support Five X More in their goal of improving the statistics as soon as possible. Tinuke and Clo, whilst feeling this cause is their calling, work incredibly hard whilst also raising their own children. We do have another gorgeous little guest in this podcast, Tinukes 1 year old daughter Eden, so I hope you enjoy the occasional squeels of excitement you hear in the background. Guest Bio: Five X More: Five X More is a grassroots organisation committed to changing Black women and birthing people’s maternal health outcomes in the UK. It was initiated in 2019 when two Black mothers, Tinuke and Clotilde came together with the dream of improving maternal mortality rates and health care outcomes for Black women. Five X More is dedicated to supporting mothers and birthing people with its campaigning work and recommendations. It focuses on empowering Black women and birthing people to make informed choices and advocate for themselves throughout their pregnancies and after childbirth. ► Follow Five X More on Instagram -- https://bit.ly/3r4AUnM ► Check out the Five X More Website -- https://www.fivexmore.com Useful links and How You Can Help: ► Navigating Pregnancy as a Black Person --https://bit.ly/3DKDL8O ► Read this article about Racial Disparities in Maternal Health and the disparity in maternal deaths because of ethnicity -- https://bit.ly/3FCqzmZ ► Donate to Five X More -- https://bit.ly/3HJWzYw ► Take the 'Black Maternity Experience Survey' -- https://bit.ly/3xejXbF A Word From Our Sponsor The Bump Plan This episode of Bun in the Oven is sponsored by The Bump Plan: the UK's Number 1 Online Prenatal Fitness Plan which has already helped over 30,000 women feel strong and prepared through their pregnancies: https://thebumpplan.com/the-bump-plan/ Given the theme of this podcast I imagine that some of you are currently pregnant or planning a family.
