ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to test a new device called the pregnancy monitoring belt, which aims to help keep track of important information during pregnancy. The study will check if the belt can accurately measure things like the mother’s heart rate, fetal heart rate, and contractions, as well as how well the mother is breathing and her blood pressure. It will also look at whether pregnant women and healthcare professionals find the belt easy to use and acceptable. Additionally, the study will explore if using this device can help parents feel more connected with their unborn baby.

To participate in this trial, pregnant women need to be at least 18 years old, have a single pregnancy, and be at least 29 weeks along. The trial will take place in a hospital setting where participants will wear the monitoring belt for about two hours while their data is collected. Healthcare professionals who work with pregnant women can also participate. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could improve prenatal care in the future.
