---|---|---|
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used widely during labor & delivery, but existing solutions limit patient mobility, are uncomfortable, and do not consistently capture fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine activity (UA) signals. A wireless EFM system was developed that features wearable US and tocodynamometer devices that conform to the body and do not require cables or belts. Benchtop testing demonstrated that the devices can accurately and consistently measure simulated FHRs and UAs over clinically meaningful ranges and body curvatures. The wearable EFM devices are expected to provide more reliable signal capture independent of maternal movement and repositioning, while also significantly improving patient comfort and mobility. |
