OB Tools – Supporting Freedom of Movement During Labor

OB Tools develops medical devices designed to improve the childbirth experience for both women and medical staff. This 2nd generation product is a wearable monitoring system with two rechargeable transmitters, used one at a time and attached to an abdominal embrace worn by the pregnant or laboring woman. The system transmits fetal monitoring data to a central unit and directly to the hospital’s monitoring system.

Throughout the project, our team worked closely with OB Tools to shape a clear and reliable User Experience for both the pregnant woman and the medical staff - addressing the design and definition of the physical device alongside the virtual interface. The system was designed to support comfort, clarity, and freedom of movement for the woman, while providing medical teams with a straightforward, dependable monitoring experience.

This device is designed for hospital/clinic installations as well as a home-based solution.
