INVU heart-rate readings agreed closely with hospital CTG

Wireless, remote solution for home fetal and maternal heart rate monitoring

In short

In 147 pregnant women, fetal and maternal heart rates recorded with INVU were compared with standard cardiotocography (CTG). The two agreed closely: a correlation of 0.92 for the fetal heart rate, with an average difference of 0.3 beats per minute, and 0.97 for the maternal heart rate. The study was led by Nuvo scientists with clinical collaborators.
