Implementation of the technology for Continuous Long-term Monitoring of Pregnant Women for Safe Childbirth

This research explores the concept of Internet of Things and how the current technology of smartphones can be used to improve the continuous health monitoring of pregnant women across the globe. A very convenient and cost-effective system has been proposed to ensure a completely non-invasive way of collecting the biometric data of pregnant women and sending it remotely to the expert health practitioners, thus enabling routine health checkups at the comfort of their homes. Precisely, we focus on the first 500 days of life which refers to the time between conception and about 6 months after delivery. Pregnant women and their babies are exceptionally susceptible to medical emergencies during this period. Timely medical attention is important to prevent health complications and ensure that babies develop properly. An iOS application will be used for transmission of information and communication between patients and their doctors. TO BE CONT’D
