Fetal Monitoring Patches

This Tiny High-Frequency Device Monitors Your Baby's Every Movement

— October 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
This fetal monitoring system aims to eliminate any worry expecting mothers may be experiencing during pregnancy.

The 'Modoo' markets itself as the world's smallest fetal monitoring device, and the thin attachable monitor only weighs in at an unobtrusive 15 grams. The monitor is made from stainless steel and a soft silicone casing that adheres to a pregnant women's stomach. Using a set of sensors the device is able to record a baby's heart rate and every internal movement they make.

The monitor also reports back on the vitals of the expecting mother while helping ensure that a pregnancy is going smoothly. A passive setting can also be activated that will only alert the user if something appears to be out of the ordinary with the pregnancy.
Trend Themes
1. Miniaturized Fetal Monitoring - The Modoo device showcases the trend of creating smaller and more portable fetal monitoring systems.
2. Advanced Sensor Technology - The use of sensors in the Modoo device highlights the trend of incorporating advanced sensor technology in healthcare monitoring.
3. Personalized Pregnancy Monitoring - The Modoo device represents the trend of personalized monitoring for expecting mothers, providing real-time data about the baby's movements and the mother's vitals.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can leverage the miniaturization trend to develop more compact and comfortable monitoring devices for various medical applications.
2. Wearable Technology - The Modoo device taps into the growing wearable technology industry, offering a wearable and discreet solution for fetal monitoring.
3. Parenting and Baby Care - The Modoo device opens up opportunities in the parenting and baby care industry by providing peace of mind to expecting parents with its real-time monitoring capabilities.
