Smartphone Integrated Noninvasive Fetal ECG Monitor to Detect Fetal Distress

Technology Description

Sattva MedTech is developing a next generation, non-invasive Fetal Health monitor to track the baby’s well-being during labor and child birth. The goal is to adress 300,000 perinatal deaths caused by fetal distress and related conditions. The device called the Sattva Fetal Lite uses advanced sensors and composite stochastic pattern recognition algorithms to greatly enhance the accuracy and ease of use. The device is designed and engineered for India and LMICs.

India has a large number of young mothers who undergo multiple, rapid pregnancies. They suffer from Anemia and malnutrition or conditions like gestational diabetes and hypertension. In these cases, during labor the baby does not get enough oxygen supply and tries to compensate by erratically varying it’s heart rate. This condition is called fetal distress and the current technology to diagnose this condition is variable, unreliable, required skilled operators and is big and bulky. It is unviable for India.
