The current technology available in market is outdated.
Majority of current fetal monitoring devices in hospitals are Doppler ultrasound-based technology from the 1960s. This technology is:
- Bulky & “hard-wired”
- Technically demanding for providers due to frequent signal loss
- Movement limiting for patients in labor
- Focused on fetal heart rate and contractions only
- Lacking in the ability to utilize continuous additions to existing datasets supporting A.I. learning to build robust neural networks & hone algorithms for clinical monitoring
High risk pregnancies are on the rise.*
Big data and artificial intelligence is poised to advance prenatal care to the next realm.
