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.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
