Don't Ignore the Signs: Navigating Preeclampsia and Pregnancy Risk with Fran Conti-Ramsden Ep. 126

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most critical aspects of maternal health: hypertension and preeclampsia. Joining us is Fran Conti-Ramsden, an NHS Obstetrics and Gynaecology registrar and MRC-funded PhD fellow who is sitting at the fascinating intersection of clinical medicine and data science.

Fran shares her expertise on why high blood pressure occurs during pregnancy, the "red flag" symptoms that often go unnoticed, and how she is using AI and real-world data to create a more equitable future for women’s healthcare. Whether you are currently expecting, planning a family, or interested in how technology is transforming the NHS, this conversation provides essential medical insights and a look at the cutting edge of FemTech.
