About

High-risk pregnancies often require long-term hospitalization or outpatient maternal and/or fetal monitoring, placing a burden on patients, hospital resources and society. The demand for intensified pregnancy surveillance and interventions is increasing, due to the increased prevalence of risk factors like obesity and advanced maternal age, as well as altered guidelines resulting in increasing labor induction rates.The main aims of the HOME study (Home monitoring of pregnancies at risk) are to assess if home monitoring of selected high-risk pregnancies for maternal and fetal wellbeing is feasible, safe (in a clinical trial), cost-efficient, and simultaneously empowers the users.
