Summary
This study tested a new electrode-based sensor that sticks on the belly to monitor the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions. The goal was to see if it works better than current methods, especially for women with obesity. 103 pregnant women participated, and the sensor's readings were compared to the standard internal monitor.
