Device for intrapartum materno-fetal care
A low-cost, wearable medical device that has been validated against existing devices like fetal heart rate monitor and tacodynamometer with satisfactory accuracy. A partogram is a graphical record of the data, measured electronically, related to the maternal and fetal care during labor. It continuously monitors uterine contractions, fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and maternal body temperature, displays them continuously, and alarms in case of any abnormality. It removes the issues of usability and provides timely clinical intervention, especially in places where the patient load is high. It also provides treatment on time and decides if the mother needs to be taken in for a Cesarean section.
