Feasibility Trial of the Womb Watch Smartphone App for Fetal Movements

This study is testing if a smartphone app called Womb Watch can reliably measure fetal movements in pregnant women. If you are a woman between 18 and 45 years old, speak English, and are 28 to 32 weeks pregnant with a single, low-risk pregnancy, you might be able to join. The study aims to see if the Womb Watch app is a practical way for pregnant women to objectively track their baby's movements at home, potentially offering a new tool for monitoring pregnancy health. Currently, the study's status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 60 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study with 60 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would use your personal smartphone with the Womb Watch app to record daily for 15 minutes, placing the microphone against your pregnant uterus. A study coordinator will help you set up the app initially.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The feasibility of the app will be measured from July 2026 to September 2027.

What this trial measures

  • Feasibility of Fetal Movement Assessment Using Pilot Womb Watch Smartphone ApplicationFrom July 2026 to September 2027

    Audio signals from different models and brands of smartphones with or without smartphone cases will be compared in our AI model. Participants using the pilot Womb Watch smartphone application will receive feedback on fetal movement assessment and help researchers determine if the application needs to be modified for real-world use.
