The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a new fetal monitor to accurately assess fetal health and the integrity of the uterine scar in the case where a woman has a previous C-section (operative) delivery. There are about 4 million births in the US annually. The fetal monitoring market is expected to reach approximately $3.6 billion in 2022. This project will advance translation of a monitor providing accurate data, improved maternal mobility, and better outcomes. Furthermore, the technology is envisioned to be disposable, reducing exposure to pathogen transmission - a benefit in particular during the pandemic.This I-Corps project advances translation of a medical device that monitors the fetus and uterus during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Fetal monitors today are unreliable at providing consistent interpretive data of fetal well-being in utero and require constant readjustment to ensure consistent fetal tracing. This process is cumbersome and introduces dangerous errors, most often due to fetal, maternal and monitor movement. This process explores a wireless device generating valuable monitoring data in a consistent, thorough, hygienic, and efficient manner that is comfortable for the patient.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该 I-Corps 项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种新的胎儿监护仪，以准确评估胎儿的健康状况以及妇女之前进行过剖腹产（手术）分娩的情况下子宫疤痕的完整性。美国每年约有 400 万人出生。胎儿监护市场预计到 2022 年将达到约 36 亿美元。该项目将推进监护仪的转化，提供准确的数据、改善母亲的活动能力和更好的结果。此外，该技术预计是一次性的，可以减少病原体传播的机会，这在大流行期间尤其有利。I-Corps 项目推进了一种医疗设备的转化，该设备可在怀孕、分娩和分娩期间监测胎儿和子宫。如今的胎儿监护仪在提供胎儿在子宫内健康状况的一致解释数据方面并不可靠，需要不断重新调整以确保胎儿追踪的一致性。这个过程很麻烦，并且会引入危险的错误，最常见的是由于胎儿、母亲和监护仪的运动。这一过程探索了一种无线设备，以一致、彻底、卫生和高效的方式生成有价值的监测数据，让患者感到舒适。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
