Sheba Beyond: a hospital unit for high-risk pregnancy, at home

Designing healthcare transformation: a hybrid model between the hospital and home for high-risk pregnant women

In short

Sheba Beyond describes how it designed a hybrid hospital-and-home unit for high-risk pregnancy, using INVU by Nuvo for fetal heart tracing at home. From October 2023 to December 2025 the unit cared for 206 admissions over 2,998 days, with no adverse events reported at home.
