Soft sensors comprehensively monitor pregnant women without wires Laboring mothers have been wearing the same cumbersome, polyester fetal-monitoring belt for decades. Not only can these belts slip out of place, requiring constant adjustment, they -- along with the array of other wires taped to the mother for monitoring -- tether the mother to the bed, limiting her ability to walk around or move freely in ways that are more comfortable. Now an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is replacing all the belts and wires with three small, thi...

Researchers from Northwestern and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill developed a wireless fetal-monitoring device for pregnant people.   The wearable sensors equipped with a small rechargeable battery monitor the pregnant person and baby’s vital signs. They also provide information that can’t be gathered with existing technology, specifically the pregnant person’s movements and positions while in labor, according to a University release.  For decades, pregnant people were restrained to their beds as a result of being connected to wires to monitor their health. They were ...
