Going to the Hospital — Annoyed
Reaching the facility feels inconvenient or stressful, due to transportation, traffic, or lack of support.
Waiting Room — Anxious
The waiting time, often in impersonal settings, heightens emotional tension and discomfort.
The Visit — Touched
During the check-up, especially through the ultrasound, the woman feels emotionally connected — she sees and “feels” the baby, making the experience intimate and powerful despite earlier stress.
The system includes a handheld domestic device that non-invasively monitors key biometric data with sensors like doppler ultrasound and PPG. Integrated into existing healthcare frameworks, it sends clinical reports and alerts providers when issues are detected.
The device goes beyond traditional health monitoring, transforming routine measurements into reassuring, emotionally rich experiences. Through dynamic visualization and tangible perception of the fetal heartbeat, it fosters a unique bond between expecting parents and their child. The intuitive handle interface guides users seamlessly, turning medical checks into meaningful moments.
