NCT ID NCT07296419

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new device that measures oxygen levels in babies during labor using a sensor placed inside the vagina. The goal is to improve how doctors detect if a baby is not getting enough oxygen. Fifteen women in labor will be enrolled to help develop the device's software.

Active substance

Fetal pulse oximeter device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a better way to monitor fetal oxygen during labor, helping doctors detect distress earlier.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study focused on algorithm development, not on proving health benefits. The device may not improve outcomes or could cause minor skin irritation.
