What this trial studies

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of conducting nonstress tests (NSTs) at home for women with high-risk pregnancies. Participants will use a non-invasive fetal electrocardiography device to monitor fetal heart rate three times a week starting at 32 weeks of gestation. The goal is to determine if this home monitoring can supplement routine prenatal care and alleviate the burden on healthcare providers. The study aims to address access to care issues and improve the management of high-risk pregnancies.
