Pregnancy Monitoring Devices for Maternity Care

In recent times, technology has successfully been leveraged to build solutions to solve healthcare disparities sustainably. It is a very exciting time to observe and enable the transition of health-tech, from a latent initial adoption phase to a phase where its potential is fully recognized. One such domain, where such a shift is already preempted, is maternity care! Home care and  Remote Monitoring Healthcare  strategies are being considered as sustainable ways to synergize with the traditional  healthcare system . This shift started with a greater awareness of the limited utility of the unstructured patient data that currently exists in the healthcare system and is accelerated by the need for remote care that was felt during the pandemic.

In fact, the gap between need and provision is so wide that it’s a crisis that no other social sector matches. Healthcare services lean heavily towards the urban areas even though the population makes up only about 30% of the total population. This small number enjoys access to over 60% of hospital beds while the rural population has access to only a third. And, with the pandemic in full swing, rural areas are bearing the brunt as they scramble to tackle COVID-19 by banking on a fragile healthcare system. Despite the doom and gloom, there’s a sliver of hope, and it's thanks to technology and digitization. 2020 has already seen digitization take healthcare by storm. The Indian government’s release of Telemedicine Practice Guidelines has also spurred growth as it has legalized telemedicin...
