This study is a single-center, prospective, and non-randomized feasibility study designed to evaluate the practicality, tolerability, and data quality of short-duration continuous fetal monitoring using a wireless bioadhesive ultrasound device. The study involves a single visit per participant and does not include any therapeutic intervention.
Eligible participants will undergo placement of a wireless bioadhesive ultrasound (ABAUS) device on the maternal abdomen for a short-duration monitoring session. The device will acquire continuous or semi-continuous ultrasound data for a total of 10-30 minutes per participant, without altering standard clinical care. The study is observational and is intended to assess the technical feasibility of device placement, the stability of the coupling during routine maternal movement, image quality over time, and the ability to monitor fetal motion, heart rate, and uterine activity using the investigational device under controlled yet realistic clinical conditions.
The study is non-interventional. No diagnostic or therapeutic decisions will be made based on the ultrasound data collected as part of this research protocol, and all standard prenatal care will proceed independently of participation in this study.

| Wireless Ultrasound Device | Device | Participants will undergo placement of the investigational wireless bio-adhesive ultrasound (ABAUS) device on the maternal abdomen. This device constitutes the sole study-related exposure. The device will be externally applied to intact abdominal skin using a skin-safe bio-adhesive and used to acquire continuous or semi-continuous ultrasound data for approximately 10-30 minutes. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Successful continuous abdominal imaging over a defined monitoring interval | Acquisition of fetal ultrasound imaging data over a 10-30 minute period | 10-30 minutes |
| Number of skin adverse events | The number of participants experiencing adverse effects, discomfort, or skin irritation related to the device will be recorded. | 30 - 60 minutes |
