Abstract Continuous fetal movement monitoring in late pregnancy may improve fetal wellbeing and pregnancy outcomes. While fetal movements can be visualized with ultrasound, it is intermittent and limited to clinical settings. Inertial measurement units may enable at-home fetal monitoring but usually require a large-footprint, multisensor design. Here, we report smart, compact wearable pressure-strain combo sensors continuously monitoring fetal movements through maternal abdominal skin motions.
