Maternal and fetal monitoring is a critical aspect of prenatal care, especially in pregnancies complicated by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. This condition can lead to complications such as abnormal fetal growth, preterm birth, and maternal health risks if not properly managed. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into healthcare systems provides an innovative approach to continuously monitor both maternal and fetal parameters in real time. This system enhances early detection and timely intervention, improving pregnancy outcomes.
The proposed IoT-based monitoring system includes wearable and non-invasive sensors to measure maternal glucose levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, along with fetal heart rate monitoring. These sensors are connected to a central processing unit that transmits data through wireless communication technologies to cloud platforms. Healthcare professionals can access this data via mobile or web applications, enabling remote monitoring and analysis. Alerts are generated automatically when abnormal values are detected, ensuring immediate medical attention and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.
IoT-enabled maternal and fetal monitoring systems offer a smart and efficient solution for managing gestational diabetes. By providing continuous, real-time health data, these systems support better clinical decision-making and personalized care. This technology not only improves maternal and fetal safety but also reduces healthcare costs and enhances patient convenience, making it a promising advancement in modern prenatal care.
