Investigating the Physiology of Labour and Labour Onset Through Longitudinal Measurements Performed With a Wearable Sensor

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Labour Onset
Interventions
Device: Bloomlife
Registration Number
NCT03982654
Lead Sponsor
Bloom Technologies
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to collect data to support the development and validation of a machine learning model for the automatic detection, prediction and monitoring of labour, through the use of a wearable sensor (Bloomlife sensor) that can be easily used at home.

Women participating in the study will be asked to regularly record data with the Bloomlife sensor, from inclusion in the study until delivery. In addition, clinical information related to their pregnancy and delivery will be collected.
