Fetal Monitoring
Conditions
Brief summary
Bloomlife has developed a wearable system (Bloomlife MFM-Pro) that can allow fetal monitoring to be conveniently performed in healthcare settings under supervision of a healthcare professional. Bloomlife MFM-Pro is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity during antepartum (non-stress) testing on pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to validate that the Bloomlife MFM-Pro is equivalent to clinical standard-of-care for routine non-stress test (NST) performed at the hospital.
Interventions
Bloomlife MFM-Pro is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity during antepartum (non-stress) testing on pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy. The system acquires biopotential signals from abdominal surface electrodes and measures the fetal electrocardiography, maternal electrocardiography, electrohysterography, as well as accelerometer data.
