ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called the Labor Status Monitor, which aims to help healthcare providers determine whether a pregnant person experiencing threatened labor is truly in labor or not. The device works by recording electrical signals from the uterus during contractions. The researchers want to set specific guidelines that will help them understand these signals better, which could lead to more accurate diagnoses for patients at risk of preterm birth. They will also gather feedback from participants and healthcare providers to improve comfort for patients and training for providers.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be pregnant women who are between 24 and 37 weeks along in their pregnancy and experiencing signs of threatened labor. However, women with certain conditions, like a fetal anomaly or specific complications that require immediate delivery, cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect to wear the device during your labor assessment, and your feedback will contribute to improving the care for future patients in similar situations.
