AirStrip and Telenatal have teamed-up over distribution of AirStrip’s Sense4Baby wireless fetal/maternal monitoring system in 13 European countries, including the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
Sense4Baby is used to perform remote maternal and fetal monitoring, high-risk pregnancies included. The device allows medical professionals to assess the data from anywhere and anytime. The monitoring system received a CE mark from the European Commission in 2013 for commercialization in remote settings including self-administration.
“Our goal is to help pregnant patients stay as comfortable as possible while ensuring they receive the highest-quality care at all times,” said Telenatal CEO Marco van Elst.
Established in 2007, Telenatal aims to provide additional care choices to women facing increased medical risk during pregnancy.
AirStrip acquired the assets of Sense4Baby in 2014. It received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA for remote use by medical professionals and is pending FDA clearance for self-administration.
