Remote Non-Stress Tests (NSTs)
Many pregnant women require weekly checkups during the third trimester. Traditionally, these visits are conducted in a clinical setting, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient. INVU by Nuvo™ offers a more flexible solution. INVU by Nuvo™ is an FDA-cleared, wearable device that enables remote fetal monitoring, including non-stress tests (NSTs), from the comfort of home or work. The system collects critical maternal and fetal data and transmits it securely to healthcare providers for clinical interpretation.
Key Benefits of INVU by Nuvo™:
- Remote monitoring of fetal and maternal heart rate, as well as uterine activity
(contractions) - Enables self-administered, clinically equivalent NSTs
- Easy to use with step-by-step guidance via a mobile app
- FDA-cleared for use from 32 weeks gestation
- Designed for both provider and patient convenience
How Is INVU by Nuvo Used?
If your OBGYN determines that INVU by Nuvo is right for you, they will prescribe the INVU sensor band. It will be shipped directly to your home. Once it arrives, download the INVU app to your phone and follow the step-by-step setup instructions. The app includes easy-to-follow training to help you get started. During your next in-person visit, your provider will do a personalized fitting to ensure the device is positioned correctly.
After that, your provider will schedule remote monitoring sessions. During these sessions, they can track critical data like fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity through a secure Provider Dashboard. You’ll also be able to see key insights in your app to stay connected to your pregnancy progress. When your monitoring period is complete, return the device using the pre-paid shipping label provided.
Is INVU by Nuvo™ Right for You?
INVU by Nuvo™ supports a higher standard of care by enabling consistent, remote monitoring throughout the third trimester, including for many patients with high-risk pregnancies. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Certain health conditions or pregnancy complications may require in-office care. Talk to your OBGYN to determine if INVU by Nuvo™ is a good fit for your pregnancy.
