Rethinking mobility during
labor induction
Safer. Healthier. More Engaging Childbirth.
A call for an urgent global need for improved, safety-enhancing quantitative monitoring solutions for labor induction, especially those suitable for at-home and outpatient settings.
Maternity Innovation Needed
Solutions that address critical challenges in labor induction, especially for women in rural areas who face limited access to obstetric care.
​
The prevailing megatrend has resulted in women worldwide are becoming mothers at later ages and experiencing pre-existing medical conditions, such as obesity and high blood pressure. These growing number of pregnancies require special attention and innovative approaches.
​
Poor induction and delivery outcomes occur in women with maternal or fetal risk factors and lack of
obstetric care during pregnancy, but also due to suboptimal timing, methods, and management of labor induction
process.
Ob-Gyn and Engineering Collaboration
We're dedicated to rethink maternal-fetal health through innovation: setting women safely in motion with affordable high-quality maternal and fetal well-being measuring remote monitoring device which is designed to transform the labor induction safer, healthier and more engaging experience.
Our solution a data-driven monitoring platform for safer labor induction is the result of seamless collaboration between a diverse team of experts. We've developed a groundbreaking non-invasive sensor system to utilize as a part of current standard of care, foley catheter cervical ripening. This sensor technology significantly enhances outpatient safety, reduces healthcare expenses, and ultimately improves the birthing experience for millions of women worldwide.
- Designed for healthcare to mobilize mothers.
Novel sensor technology
Large international studies have shown that at-home, outpatient induction is a safe and effective option for birthing women.
​
Our aim is to set women safely in motion, out of the birthing room and off one hospital floor, and to enhance the safe onset of childbirth through optimized, efficient, and personalized labor induction management. Our smart technology enables healthcare providers to monitor mothers' contractions and fetal heart rate during Foley catheter cervical ripening, whether in inpatient or outpatient settings.
For healthcare providers, this technology serves as a remote data-driven decision-making tool for timely and informed induction process management, leading to improved fetal and maternal safety. Continuous real-time monitoring of induction progress enables anticipation of treatment needs and promotes more efficient use of hospital resources, ultimately saving healthcare resources.
​
Our system enhances patient safety, mobility, and provides them with valuable insights into their personal birth journey. By keeping mothers informed, it helps reduce stress and anxiety, leading to a better childbirth experience. The design of our sensor system prioritizes comfort throughout the labor induction journey.
​
We have patent pending solution. Currently, we are conducting initial clinical validations for our sensor technology at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.
