Research

Exploring new approaches to fetal monitoring

We're investigating how emerging technologies could enable earlier detection of fetal distress through more frequent, accessible monitoring.

Growth trajectory analysis

Investigating how individualized growth curves, rather than population-based percentiles, could improve early identification of growth restriction.

AI-assisted interpretation

Researching machine learning approaches to interpreting complex fetal data, enabling detection of subtle patterns that indicate developing complications.

Multi-modal sensing

Exploring how combining multiple sensor modalities could provide complementary signals for fetal wellbeing assessment in non-clinical settings.

Clinical integration

Studying how continuous monitoring data could integrate with existing clinical pathways, supporting clinical care.

Our research is ongoing. We are currently in early-stage feasibility studies and are not making claims about clinical efficacy. We are committed to rigorous validation through proper clinical trials.

Research foundation

Built on peer-reviewed science

Our work builds on decades of research in maternal-fetal medicine, ultrasound imaging, and AI-assisted diagnostics.

Take part in our feasibility study

We are enrolling people in their second or third trimester of pregnancy in a voluntary, IRB-reviewed feasibility study of an investigational wearable fetal monitoring device. Open to participants in the United States.
