A Smarter Way to Understand Labor Before the Patient Arrives

Healthcare workers

Birthvue is building a new layer of intelligence for labor and delivery, one that begins before hospital admission and extends seamlessly into clinical care. We combine FDA-cleared sensing hardware with advanced analytics to capture and analyze maternal contraction and fetal movement data in real-world settings. Our current platform is designed exclusively for research use, enabling hospitals and providers to study labor patterns earlier, more objectively, and with minimal disruption to existing workflows.

The Challenge in Labor & Delivery

Labor remains one of the most unpredictable and resource-intensive areas of hospital care.

Despite advances in obstetrics, providers are still forced to make critical decisions with limited objective data, especially before a patient arrives at the hospital. This uncertainty leads to:

​

​​

  • High rates of false labor admissions that strain beds, staff, and budgets

  • Delayed recognition of true or preterm labor progression

  • Inefficient staffing and reactive decision-making

  • Increased patient anxiety and inconsistent care experiences

 

Birthvue exists to address this blind spot, not by replacing clinical judgment, but by giving providers better data earlier. Imagine if every laboring mother had the experience and outcomes of an experienced mother. Birthvue is currently deployed as a research-only data acquisition platform. It is not a diagnostic tool, clinical decision support system, or a replacement for standard monitoring or clinical judgement.

Building Value for Providers, Practices, & Health Systems

What Providers Can Study With Birthvue

Birthvue allows hospitals and research teams to study labor in a way that has historically not been possible.

Approved studies may explore:

  • Early labor and pre-labor contraction pattern formation

  • Differences between false & true labor

  • Changes in contraction frequency, intensity, and regularity

  • Early indicators of preterm labor progression

  • How at-home data aligns with in-hospital monitoring and outcomes

Data collection begins before hospital arrival, providing a more complete picture of the labor journey.

Clinical Research Value

  • Earlier visibility into labor progression patterns

  • Objective, continuous data beyond episodic triage checks

  • New datasets to support maternal health research

  • Foundation for future predictive and personalized labor care

Operational & System Value

  • Potential reduction in unnecessary admissions

  • Improved bed utilization and staffing efficiency

  • Less reactive, more anticipatory care planning

  • Better alignment between patients, providers, and care teams

Birthvue is designed to help hospitals learn first, then optimize responsibly.
