I am a PhD student within the EPOPé team, and my thesis topic revolves around the medicalization of childbirth. My study focuses on the evolution of physiological childbirth and the factors that determine it. I also assess the trends in medical interventions during labor and their impact on the mode of delivery. Lastly, my research explores whether machine learning can be used to develop a more accurate and efficient predictive model for vaginal childbirth.
