Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for women in late pregnancy to test new sensors that measure the heartbeats and movements of the baby. Participants will help us see how well these sensors work compared to current methods.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have a singleton pregnancy after 28 weeks.
  • I have an estimated fetal weight between the 10th and 90th percentiles.
  • I am 16 years or older.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have fetal anomalies.
  • I am pregnant with more than one baby.
  • I have evidence of fetal growth restriction.
  • I cannot speak or understand fluent English.
  • I am under 16 years old.

About This Trial
A multidisciplinary team of a doctor and engineers have developed a new sensor that will be able to detect mothers' and babies' heartbeat and babies movements in late pregnancy. This sensor can be placed in contact with the mothers' skin over the pregnant uterus without having to be stuck down. We anticipate that this sensor would allow us to monitor babies for longer periods of time which might h…
