Wearable Ultrasound Patch for Autonomous and Continuous Fetal Monitoring
TL;DR
A wearable ultrasound patch integrated with an autonomous tracking algorithm that achieves continuous, real‐time monitoring of fetal hemodynamics, offering a new paradigm for managing high‐risk pregnancies.
Abstract
Ultrasonography is widely used for fetal monitoring but is limited to snapshot evaluations by trained sonographers. Researchers report a wearable ultrasound patch (UPatch) integrated with an autonomous tracking algorithm that achieves continuous, real‐time monitoring of fetal hemodynamics, offering a new paradigm for managing high‐risk pregnancies.
