This new, wearable product that was developed in Israel will allow women to monitor their unborn babies and view data on a smartphone app.
According to Reuters, the new product, called PregSense (available for purchase late this year, $250 USD), uses an elastic harness with built-in sensors that the expectant woman wears around her belly. The monitor will use Bluetooth to transmit data about both the mother and the baby to a smartphone.
Disclaimer: It is not meant to eliminate the roles of your health care providers, but it may put moms-to-be in their last trimester at ease with its continuous monitoring, as well as being able to pin point early complications such as pre-eclampsia and pre-term labor.
