The departments of public health and engineering are developing a wearable fetal heart rate monitor to improve prenatal healthcare access. Researchers are recruiting participants who are 36-40 weeks pregnant to help test this non‑invasive device. The study takes about 90 minutes in Ahlberg Hall. Participants receive $125. A valid Social Security number is required for compensation.
