Monica Healthcare has created The Novii Fetal Monitoring system which is a breakthrough technology that allows for more accurate fetal monitoring during labor and delivery. It is attached via comfortable adhesive gel pads to the woman's abdomen and the signal is transmitted via Bluetooth to the Novii interface. This monitoring is not interrupted by high BMI or activity of the mother or the baby.

This technology is a necessity in the obstetrics world. This would streamline the management of care for laboring women and would allow for greater flexibility in the approach to this process. Regardless of if a woman wants an epidural or labor naturally this device can improve satisfaction overall and provide comfort to each patient. This will also improve the care provided by the nursing staff and can potentially be the answer to the nursing shortage problem due to less intervening and readjustments of the monitors, more accurate monitoring, and potentially allow a safer environment for nurses to labor 2 women at once. With the rise in obesity, the monitoring of women in labor has become increasingly more difficult with the current monitoring system. This device can aid in proper management of Pitocin in labor which would give women a higher chance of success in a vaginal delivery.
