Addresses shortcomings of
'gold standard' risk-screening tools
VIBRANT: Early Prediction of Life-Threatening Uterine Atony Using Maternal Heart Rate" submitted to the IEEE/ACM CHASE 2025 Conference. Paper available upon request.
Enables superior maternal outcomes
Alerts clinicians to unknown postpartum hemorrhage risk
Works with existing Joint Commission-mandated risk assessment systems, eg. AWHONN, ACOG, CMQCC
Designed for
Health System Adoption
Cloud based SaMD integrates with hospital’s hardware, providing
real-time physiological data to clinical care team enabling preparedness
Vasowatch System
For continuous monitoring of maternal hemorrhage risk during Labor & Delivery
Method of Action
Using the mother’s cardiovascular system to detect myometrial fatigue
Observes patterns in maternal heart rate during active labor
Myometrial Fatigue Index (MFI) =
Identifies 80% of life-threatening uterine atony missed by the current standard of care
