Hasta La Ideas

One of the first signs of fetal wellbeing is mother’s perception of movements. Currently women are told to report any abnormalities in fetal movement with a quantified number stated as less than 10 felt kicks/rolls per day. However, the minimum activity is highly dependent on an individual pregnancy case, and one of the greatest challenges is defining what is normal when it comes to fetal activity.

Bumpe proposes a safe, at home and reliable answer to current products that can be also used after the child is born. It is a remote system that assists with the tracking of fetal movements during pregnancy. Its developed passive sensing technology allows for continuous monitoring outside of a hospital and can be safely used from the third trimester. Also, Bumpe is there for you to assist and bring reassurance after the birth of your baby. The sensors gather data over the course of your baby’s development. They provide information about the infant’s breathing patterns and sleep cycles. The system consists of a wearable device, base station and assistive App.

Bumpe was designed in conjunction with health care professionals and in compliance with early-stage health assessment guidance.
