INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential benefit to patients and providers from using the remote fetal-monitoring system NUVO along with its app to allow for pregnant patients requiring weekly non-stress testing to do so from their homes. The main questions the investigators are looking to answer are: What effect does the NUVO remote fetal monitoring system have on patient/provider satisfaction? What is the cost savings (both direct and indirect) from using a remote fetal monitoring system as opposed to in-person testing for both the patient and the provider? Researchers will compare the survey responses by both patients and providers for pre and post implementation of the NUVO fetal monitoring system to the survey responses of patients and providers who used the traditional in-clinic method to evaluate satisfaction and cost savings. Participants will: Answer pre-implementation surveys before undergoing the trial Be randomly assigned to do either fetal testing at-home or in-clinic once or twice weekly as up to the provider Before hospital discharge or within the last office visit participants will be given a post-implementation survey
