Our Vision
One day, every pregnant mother - especially those in rural, “off-the-road” villages - will have access to life-saving ultrasound.
Our Mission
To save mothers’ lives in resource-limited areas by empowering local healthcare workers with life-saving, portable ultrasound Triage OUT skills.
Triage OUT Ultrasound
Triage
The process of prioritizing patients based on medical needs, especially those with life-threatening conditions.
Triage OUT (Obstetric Ultrasound Training)
Identifying mothers with life-threatening conditions of pregnancy, before and after delivery.
Every two minutes…
Every two minutes, a woman somewhere dies of pregnancy complications. By far most of these deaths occur in rural, low-income communities—and most are easily avoidable.
NYAGI brings together healthcare providers, cause-driven organizations, and technology companies to provide scalable remote, live, and in-person training in basic prenatal ultrasound. Success equips local healthcare providers in low-income countries, where medical services are most limited, with the basic ultrasound skills necessary to triage pregnancies.
NYAGI developed Triage OUT, an innovative and effective remote training program for basic prenatal ultrasound skills built around a scalable model. NYAGI’s ultrasound experts train in-country Master Trainers, who in turn support local rural healthcare providers.
The NYAGI approach combines:
Specially designed asynchronous, self-paced learning system
Supplemental live interactive webinars with NYAGI experts
Quick reference xNAV mobile app from 7D Imaging, Inc., a partner education tech software company
Remote and in-person training of Master Trainers
Handheld, portable point-of-care ultrasound systems

Supporting Rural Healthcare
Instead of flying in for one-off expert assistance, NYAGI Project supports enduring and scalable solutions by combining its Train-the-Trainer program with remote back-up support.
Accelerated learning protocols focus on identifying select life-threatening complications. Successful completion of the training does not require advanced prior medical qualifications and is possible for midwives and birth attendants.
By enabling trainees to teach others, this approach multiplies the number of healthcare workers skilled in basic ultrasound diagnostics, increasing access for women in need. Other major advantages are that NYAGI Project’s skills development system is fast, effective and low-cost.
