First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tests whether a simple fetal ECG monitor worn at home can effectively track the health of babies in high-risk pregnancies. Fifty pregnant women who need weekly fetal testing will use the device for 30-minute sessions, three times a week, starting at 32 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and practical for patients and doctors, potentially reducing the burden of frequent clinic visits.
