Millions of stillbirths could be prevented using affordable and wearable sensor

In a clever adaptation, a team of researchers developed a fetal monitor using commercial motion sensors to pick up the movement of a pregnant woman’s belly, produced by the heartbeat of the baby or by the baby’s movements in the womb. This early-warning system could potentially prevent about 2.6 million stillbirths around the world.
