Roughly every 13th baby is still born prematurely in Switzerland. Premature births often have dramatic consequences for those involved and costs can spiral very quickly. The ETH spin-off Pregnolia AG has been tackling this problem head on. In the last few years it has developed a method of measurement that is more accurately able to predict the risk of a possible premature birth.
