First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests whether a wireless monitor worn for 24 hours after an emergency C-section can alert doctors when a woman's vital signs become dangerous. Over 3,000 women in Uganda will wear the device, and researchers will track whether it reduces severe complications like hemorrhage, organ failure, or death. The goal is to see if simple, wearable technology can improve safety in low-resource hospitals.
