Summary
This study tested a new fetal monitoring device to see if it works as well as the current standard monitor for tracking a baby's heart rate during pregnancy. Thirty pregnant women with a single baby at 22 weeks or later were monitored. The goal was to compare how often each device successfully recorded the fetal heart rate.
