Overview
Brief Summary
The aims of this clinical pilot study are to:
- to validate the following parameters: mother heart rate, mother ECG, fetal heart rate, contractions, mother oxygen saturation, mother breathing rate, mother blood pressure
- to evaluate the feasibility on detecting fetal movements
- to explore how pregnant women and health care professionals perceive the acceptability and usability of the pregnancy monitoring system
- to explore the possibility to support prenatal attachment between parent and fetus with remote pregnancy monitoring
The participating pregnant women will wear the pregnancy monitoring belt for 2 hours during of which, the data will be collected with pregnancy monitoring belt and patient monitor (reference device). The data from the pregnancy monitoring belt will be compared with the patient monitor data referred as golden standard. The acceptability and usability will be assessed by pregnant women and healthcare professionals by fulfilling a questionnaire and participating in interviews. The data collection will be conducted in hospital environment.

Arms & Interventions
Pregnant women
Pregnant women wearing the pregnancy monitoring belt for two hours. In addition, the hospital patient monitor will be used to measure mother ECG, heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, contractions and fetal heart rate and movements.
Healthcare professionals

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
fetal heart rate
Time Frame: Two hour data collection
Fetal heart rate will be measured with the sensorized pregnancy monitoring belt and to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements, the fetal heart rate measurements will be compared with the hospital patient monitor (golden standard).
