New remote non-invasive monitoring solutions for ensuring the health of mothers and babies before and after birth

CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Mid-term updated clinical usability and usefulness assessment for UC1-5 (opens in new window)

Lead clinical studies regarding the design, placement of sensors and patient experience, analyse data. Insel will perform a clinical study with volunteer pregnant women in order to test the functional prototype of UC2 (wearable pregnancy monitoring garment), after collecting EC approval.

Final remote monitoring device specification (opens in new window)

The report will describe all sensoric and electronic functions of the devices for monitoring of babys in beds. The specifications for all devices will be summarized in the report.

A study on national and international ethics requirements and guidelines for remote monitoring solutions for pregnant women, the fetus and new-born babies. (opens in new window)

The Newlife fetal patch expands the heart rate monitoring functionality of current CTG applications (based on Doppler ultrasound) to include real-time fetal imaging and enables home use. Since this is a new workflow, we need to work closely with clinical partners globally to define requirements for this new solution.

Test report with conclusions from intermediate solution (opens in new window)

The functionality of the sensing elements at this stage of project work will be evaluated. The report will conclude about the further system development for monitoring of newborn babys in bed.

User research workshop findings and considerations for remote monitoring in clinical workflows (opens in new window)

A summary of the findings generated from the user research workshop and the considerations that this will have on the products. Expected content are descriptions of user profiles, context of use, users needs and tasks as well as usage scenarios.

MDR training workshop for all partners (opens in new window)

Philips will organize a course for all NEWLIFE partner to be aware of regulations/requirements to work on medical devices.

Document on general recommendations and learnings on device qualification of health care solutions (opens in new window)

Philips Medical Systems has a well-developed global distribution network to sell fetal monitoring solutions to delivery rooms and maternity wards in hospitals. This also means the knowledge and experience exists to launch such products which we will be able to leverage in the Newlife project.

Smart wearables concept definition (opens in new window)

An application for a long-term remote infant monitoring for parents based on MEDrecord platform.

Pre-clinical usability and usefulness assessment results for UC1-5 (opens in new window)

Insel will perform an usability study among pregnant/non-pregnant women using non-functional prototypes. The purpose is to increase acceptance among the targeted population. An Ethical Approval will be obtained before conducting the study.

Usability report of baby cap (opens in new window)

Usability report of the baby capbased on usability testing environments and clinical experts evaluartions. Initial usability evaluation with dummy devices. Final demonstration and evaluation using smart cap prototypes for feedback and improvement evaluations

Concept description of pregnancy companions (opens in new window)

Descriptions of how the three different pregnancy companions in UC1 will work at a higher level describing e.g. interactions with users and other technical systems, components, functions and other building blocks.

Second year report for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities (opens in new window)

Philips will deliver the second year report for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities.

Plan for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities (opens in new window)

Philips will deliver the plan for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities.

Concept definition for smart baby cap (opens in new window)

The concept for the new-born cap and the optical sensors will be defined and documented. Parameters and requirements for auxiliary sensors, optical sensor module will be conceptualized, and adaptation to other use cases will be defined. Requirements based on end user expectations, customer journey and clinical assessment will be taken into account.

Concept definition for smart body suit (opens in new window)

The concept for the new-born body suit with sensors will be defined and documented. Parameters and requirements for sensors and adaptation to use cases will be defined. Requirements based on end user expectations, customer journey and clinical assessment will be taken into account.

Device for bed monitoring of new-born (opens in new window)

The planned demonstrator will show the principle functionalities for monitoring of newborns in beds. At this stage the demonstrator will not show the final formfactor and the electronic modules will be based on preliminary assemblies.

Smart pregnancy garment demonstrator (opens in new window)

At least 10 working prototypes of UC2 smart garment to be produced and delivered to clinical partner for evalaution

Updates to Data Management plan M24 (opens in new window)

Updates to the data management plan to reflect the current situation of the project.

Data management plan (opens in new window)

A data management plan needed to ensure GDPR compliancy and data privacy and country and hospital specific regulations and guidelines and national laws will be studied and taken into account.
