About this trial

The overall aim of this research proposal is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of home antenatal maternal-fetal monitoring technology within a high-risk pregnancy group. The investigators hypothesise that home monitoring is feasible and acceptable to both pregnant women and HCPs.

50 women from a single site will be recruited to use a home cardiotocography (CTG) device alongside routine antenatal care. Participants will use this device once a week, for an hour at a time, for up to 6 weeks or until delivery. The primary outcome is 20 minutes of continuous monitoring. Additional outcomes assess acceptability, adherence and safety.
