Hemorrhage after birth can occur when postpartum uterine contractions are not strong enough to expel the placenta and is the dominant cause for maternal mortality. The risk of postpartum hemorrhage is increased in case of slow progress of labour. Novel measurement methods will be leveraged to develop methods for assessing the progress of labour and monitoring the strength and frequency of postnatal uterine contractions. This will allow for improved risk assessment for postpartum hemorrhage and will be a critical enabler for timely intervention to prevent severe hemorrhage.

鈥淪ave Her鈥� will contribute to the reduction of postpartum hemorrhage via innovations in the monitoring of perinatal uterine activity, using unobtrusive technology, that can be used both in the hospital and home setting. The monitoring application and AI-based methods and dashboards will be tested first in the hospital and in the last phase of the project, a pilot to test the technology in a 鈥榟ome@hospital鈥� setting is aimed for.

The project has a strong involvement of a company with 12 years of experience, Nemo Healthcare, and the MMC hospital, with joint supervision and management. The project has Open Access publishing of widely applicable methods and is organized to enable close collaboration and colocation of researchers from all partners. The project can leverage strongly on ongoing e/MTIC projects and will use and contribute to the large-scale e/MTIC healthcare data collection infrastructure
