Nobody needs convincing that white coats cause stress in some patients. This also applies to pregnant women, who need to stay calm during certain tests. One of them is CTG, i.e. cardiotocography. It enables measurement of foetal heart rate, maternal pulse, foetal movements and uterine contractions. Thanks to the company Nestmedic, this test can be done at home, at any time and without the stress of travelling to a clinic.
It was a startup from Wrocław, Nestmedic, that came up with an idea of creating a mobile CTG apparatus, which is of support for medical staff and parents-to-be. Having received appropriate instructions, patients can have a professional examination carried out in any place and at any time.
A patient receives information about the test results from the Medical Telemonitoring Center run by qualified medical staff.
The portable device is connected to the platform and transmits the results to a database.
