PerinatalTemp
Maternal temperature during labor and newborn temperature in the first hours of life. A connected approach to clinical research.
Perinatal monitoring
Connecting information before and after birth.
PerinatalTemp is a technology in development for monitoring maternal temperature during labor and newborn temperature in the first hours of life.
The proposal combines individual sensors, wireless communication and a centralized platform. It aims to study thermal changes along this pathway and generate information that may support maternal and neonatal research and care.
In development · Clinical study collaboration proposal
One pathway, two stages of monitoring
From maternal admission to the baby’s first hours
PerinatalTemp provides continuous temperature monitoring, connecting two critical stages of the perinatal journey.
From mother to baby, one connected story.
Maternal admission
Hospital monitoring begins
During labor
Follow maternal temperature from hospital admission to birth, recording changes throughout labor.
After birth
Monitor newborn temperature in the first hours of life, allowing thermal patterns during this period to be studied.
First hours of life
Continuity of monitoring
The described pathway involves maternal measurements followed by newborn measurements after birth. It does not constitute direct fetal temperature measurement.
From monitoring to knowledge
How information reaches the care team
Sensors, wireless connectivity and a central platform work together to make temperature data accessible, secure and useful to healthcare teams.
Individual sensors
Contact sensors collect maternal and newborn temperature data.
Connected communication
A mobile phone or fixed antenna transmits data to the monitoring platform.
Central platform
Data visualization, storage and management.
A better-informed team
The team can view maternal and newborn temperature data in one place, supporting monitoring and research.
The proposed architecture includes cloud deployment, expansion to multiple sensors, encryption features and backups. Technical configuration and data management should be defined for each project.
Clinical study proposal
What can thermal trends add to the study of neonatal sepsis?
The proposal seeks to investigate associations between maternal temperature during labor, newborn temperature after birth and a diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
Characterize patterns
Describe how maternal and newborn temperatures change over the monitoring period.
Explore associations
Analyze how thermal data relate to the clinical diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
Build evidence
Assess what complementary information these data may offer to research and future practice.
These are research questions. The proposal does not establish that PerinatalTemp diagnoses, predicts or prevents neonatal sepsis. Monitoring and clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the care team.
Clinical collaboration
Research together. Develop with clinical practice.
BirthTech welcomes discussions with institutions and teams interested in assessing the feasibility of a clinical study using the technology. Collaboration may cover protocol design, team training and data analysis.
The protocol, responsibilities, data protection and applicable approvals must be agreed before any study begins.
Healthcare institutions and research teams
