What is Sense4Baby?
Sense4Baby is a portable CTG system designed for at-home prenatal monitoring. Mothers-to-be no longer have to travel to the outpatient clinic for (sometimes daily) check-ups and/or be admitted to hospital.
Sense4Baby is a substitute for traditional CTG monitoring, where the machine is connected to a computer that forms part of the hospital information system. The transducer, as it is known, is equipped with all the software and hardware typically installed on an electronic foetal monitor. The CTG is displayed on a small tablet. Sense4Baby and the tablet are connected via Bluetooth.
The CTG traces and other relevant information are sent to our portal and can be viewed from any device (PC, tablet or smartphone) in a special browser. Usually a connection with the HIS (hospital information system) will also be available, so that the data can be consulted there after the event. The tablet software can also be used to send other medical data if required.
We provide complimentary on-site Sense4Baby training to healthcare professionals. Feel free to contact us for more information, or to schedule an appointment.
Sense4Baby for secondary-care health professionals
Sense4Baby for home-monitoring pregnant women in a secondary healthcare setting is designed for:
- Healthcare professionals at hospitals or obstetric practices who wish to monitor their pregnant patients remotely.
- Hospitals looking to offer an at-home prenatal monitoring service.
Mothers-to-be can use Sense4Baby themselves in the convenience of their own home. The data is analysed remotely by the gynaecologist, resulting in substantial savings on staff costs and reducing the number of occupant days.
Step 1
The primary-care obstetrician uses Sense4Baby to perform a CTG, which takes a maximum of 30 minutes.
Step 2
The data is sent to the appropriate healthcare professional through the cloud.
Step 3
The healthcare professional assesses the data and provides feedback to the patient.
