New device could predict preterm birth within a week
NCT ID NCT05586334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new medical device called PrediMAP to see if it can accurately predict whether a pregnant woman in preterm labor will give birth within 7 days. Researchers will enroll 3,600 women visiting the emergency room with signs of preterm labor. If successful, the device could help doctors make faster, better decisions for mothers and babies.
