Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population is limited to persons with a single pregnancy who are receiving a clinically-ordered MRI at Boston Children's Hospital as part of their clinical care.

Who may be able to join

  • Pregnant individual 18 years or older
  • Singleton uterine pregnancy
  • Gestational age 20 to 39 gestational weeks
  • Able to provide written informed consent
  • Willing to go an single visit lasting 45 minutes - 1 hour including device placement, monitoring and removal
  • Willing to permit placement of the wireless bioadhesive ultrasound device on their abdomen for approximately 10-30 minutes

Who cannot join

  • Multiple gestation
  • Maternal abdominal skin condition at the potential site of attachment, such as rash, open wound, etc., preventing placement
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to adhesive material or hydrogel products
  • Need for urgent clinical management/triage
  • BMI > 35, as the signal quality could be impacted by BMI and not the device specifically

About this study

This study is a single-center, prospective, and non-randomized feasibility study designed to evaluate the practicality, tolerability, and data quality of short-duration continuous fetal monitoring using a wireless bioadhesive ultrasound device. The study involves a single visit per participant and does not include any therapeutic intervention.

Eligible participants will undergo placement of a wireless bioadhesive ultrasound (ABAUS) device on the maternal abdomen for a short-duration monitoring session. The device will acquire continuous or semi-continuous ultrasound data for a total of 10-30 minutes per participant, without altering standard clinical care. The study is observational and is intended to assess the technical feasibility of device placement, the stability of the coupling during routine maternal movement, image quality over time, and the ability to monitor fetal motion, heart rate, and uterine activity using the investigational device under controlled yet realistic clinical conditions.

The study is non-interventional. No diagnostic or therapeutic decisions will be made based on the ultrasound data collected as part of this research protocol, and all standard prenatal care will proceed independently of participation in this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Wireless Ultrasound DeviceDevice

    Also called wireless bioadhesive ultrasound (ABAUS).

    Participants will undergo placement of the investigational wireless bio-adhesive ultrasound (ABAUS) device on the maternal abdomen. This device constitutes the sole study-related exposure. The device will be externally applied to intact abdominal skin using a skin-safe bio-adhesive and used to acquire continuous or semi-continuous ultrasound data for approximately 10-30 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Successful continuous abdominal imaging over a defined monitoring interval

    Acquisition of fetal ultrasound imaging data over a 10-30 minute period

    Measured: 10-30 minutes

  2. Number of skin adverse events

    The number of participants experiencing adverse effects, discomfort, or skin irritation related to the device will be recorded.

    Measured: 30 - 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnant Woman With Single Pregnancy and Ultrasound Fetal Medicine, run by Boston Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fetal Imaging Research Team ((617) 919-5088, FetalImaging@childrens.harvard.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Successful continuous abdominal imaging over a defined monitoring interval (time frame: 10-30 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2026.
