Fetal monitoring devices are diagnostic tools used to monitor the vital parameters of fetal throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery. During the first trimester, it is primarily used for monitoring fetal heart rate and fetal movement. These systems help in identifying any disorders or birth defects, monitor fetal health, and track uterine contractions to ensure the safe birth of the baby.
Despite a Slowdown in the Demand Owing to Covid-19, the Fetal Monitoring Devices Market Stays Resilient
The Covid-19 Pandemic changed the complete socio-economic scenario in the healthcare sector. Due to safety reasons, the hospitals had to limit the volume of patients, reducing the fetal monitoring procedures. During the pandemic, healthcare providers delayed or rescheduled fetal monitoring procedures to minimize the risk of patients getting exposed to Covid-19. Hence, during the pandemic, there was a substantial decrease in the number of fetal monitoring procedures. However, to overcome these barriers, companies launched several innovative tools to help monitor pregnant women during COVID-19.
For instance, in June 2020, Philips launched an obstetrics monitoring solution to support clinicians and expectant mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm launched Avalon CL Fetal and Maternal Pod and Patch which reduces unnecessary physical interactions between clinicians and patients, which is of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. -
-Covid-19 has intensified the need for mobile solutions during pregnancy. Remote monitoring especially during labor offers several benefits such as comfort, mobility, and flexibility to expectant mothers.- -General Manager, Monitoring & Analytics, Health Technology Company, U.S.
Technological Advancements in Fetal Monitoring Devices Drives the Global Fetal Monitoring Devices Mark The growing demand for fetal monitoring devices/systems can be attributed to the rising prevalence of cardiopulmonary diseases, post-term pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, preterm births, initiatives taken by the government for the welfare of maternal and fetal health, and new innovations in fetal monitoring devices market.
