Mothership Medical
Automated fetal heart rate monitoring that 'Goes with Mom' anywhere, anytime.
​
Mothership Medical's breakthrough wireless fetal heart rate monitoring system, Lucina™ provides a safer and more comfortable way to monitor fetal heart rate and the mother's uterine activity during pre-natal care and throughout childbirth.
​
Current wired electronic fetal monitoring technology restricts mom's movements, creates a safety risk and workflow inefficiencies for the nurses, and is unreliable which can lead to an increase in cesarean deliveries. This adds billions of unnecessary costs to the healthcare system every year. Additionally, there is no visibility into the fetal heart rate and uterine activity when mom is not at the doctor's office, causing high stress for mom.
90% of hospital births in the U.S. rely on manual and inefficient electronic fetal monitors, increasing healthcare costs and lost productivity each year.
Why the standard of care in fetal monitoring needs to change
External wires restrict mom’s movement and exercise, which increases risk of low fetal oxygenation
Unreliable readings increase likelihood of unnecessary cesarean deliveries
Cabling and straps interfere with the birthing process, causing significant dissatisfaction and inefficiencies
Current technology does not support comprehensive monitoring across the home and hospital
Internal monitoring can increase the risk of maternal and fetal infection and bruising of baby’s scalp
Internal monitors cause increased discomfort and pain to mom upon insertion and throughout wear
The LUCINA Fetal Monitoring System
The New Standard in Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
The Lucina platform provides automated and simplified monitoring of the fetal heart rate and uterine activity, at any time, wherever mom goes. The Lucina system provides immediate and accurate readings of the fetal heart rate. This data is wirelessly transmitted to the Lucina mobile app, allowing mom to track the fetal heart rate and any uterine activity in real-time, as well as understanding recent trends.
​
During pre-natal care, this data can be directly integrated into the electronic health record to allow physicians and care teams to see and track current data and trends at anytime. Lucina enables the fetal heart rate to be monitored from anywhere, at anytime, allowing mom to stay in the comfort of the home.
​
Lucina continues to provide real-time monitoring when mom goes into labor, as the Lucina system is compatible with the current I.T. monitoring systems in most hospitals. This allows physicians and nurses advanced knowledge of mom's labor status before arrival at the hospital, without the hospital having to change any systems or processes.
​
Lucina is the new breakthrough in providing simple, real-time fetal heart rate and uterine activity monitoring that goes with the mom, in the home, in the hospital, anywhere!
