First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether pregnant women with complications like pre-eclampsia or fetal growth restriction can use a remote device at home to monitor their baby's heart rate. Sixty participants between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy will try the device daily. Researchers will check how often the measurements work and how satisfied patients and doctors are.
