Testing sensors to monitor babies in the womb
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests new sensors to check on a baby's wellbeing during the third trimester of pregnancy, as an alternative to standard monitors. You would wear a sensor on your belly to track your baby's heartbeat and movements without wires or needles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a computer-based analysis of the baby's heart rate tracing (called STV) with the standard visual check doctors perform. The goal is to see if the computer method better identifies babies who are struggling, so doctors can act sooner to keep the baby safe.
This trial lets you monitor your baby's heartbeat at home with a simple device instead of coming to the hospital each time. It's for women with certain high-risk pregnancy conditions who are 32 weeks or more along.
This study tests a new smartphone app called Womb Watch that helps pregnant patients track their baby's movements. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for monitoring fetal health during the third trimester of pregnancy.
This study tests a wearable monitor that tracks your baby's heartbeat while you exercise during pregnancy. It aims to see if the monitor works well and is comfortable, which could help pregnant people stay active safely.
This study tests new ways to monitor pregnancies to help prevent stillbirth. It involves two groups: one starting around 12 weeks and another starting at 28 weeks if there are signs of possible growth problems or less fetal movement.
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.
