What if doctors could predict pregnancy complications months before they happen?
On this episode of The Healthcast, Phil Zappone sits down with Robert Bunn, Founder and CEO of Ultrasound AI, to discuss how a personal family experience led him to develop groundbreaking AI technology that is changing maternal healthcare.
After leaving the oil industry, Robert set out to solve one of medicine's most challenging problems: predicting miscarriages and preterm births before they occur. Despite years of skepticism from clinicians, researchers, and investors, his team developed an AI system capable of analyzing routine ultrasound images to predict delivery timing and identify risks long before traditional methods.
Now, following FDA De Novo approval, Ultrasound AI is poised to transform pregnancy care, helping clinicians move from reactive treatment to proactive intervention.

In this episode, you'll learn:
How AI can predict preterm births from ultrasound images
The breakthrough discovery that changed everything
The FDA approval journey and what it means for healthcare
How predictive medicine could reshape patient care
The future of AI-powered diagnostics and maternal health
Lessons on perseverance, innovation, and building a healthcare startup
Whether you're interested in healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, or maternal health, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the future of medicine.
