Innovation in motion

Today, obstetrical caregivers must respond to their patients' need for increased choice and greater freedom to move during labor, without compromising the quality of care they deliver. It has never been more important to offer freedom and flexibility during pregnancy and labor – enhancing patient comfort and delivering a superb experience for mother and baby alike.

Philips continues to drive advances in fetal and maternal monitoring. Our latest generation of maternal and fetal monitors includes cableless technology that allows women greater freedom of movement, and supports reliable, continuous monitoring – including for high-BMI patients and multiple births. Combining real-world clinical insights, the latest technologies and our innovative spirit, we remain at the leading edge of obstetrical care

Delivering what’s next in obstetrical care

As we celebrate 50 years of innovations in obstetrical care, we also have a unique opportunity to look towards the future. What could be the top priorities in this field over the coming years? Whatever lies ahead, our goal will remain the same: to help caregivers deliver an outstanding obstetrical care experience, with total focus on the needs of mothers and babies at this crucial time of life.

High-BMI patients

As obstetrical care evolves across the globe, more high-BMI patients may gain the confidence to consider pregnancy. Caregivers will require suitable technology to monitor mother and fetus effectively, while adequately supporting maternal mobility.

Non-invasive fetal monitoring

As the trend for freedom in labor continues to gather pace, care providers will need to maintain a high quality of fetal monitoring at every stage of labor, without relying on invasive monitoring techniques.

Automation and computer analysis

Moving forward, advances in computer analysis could pave the way for automated interpretation of monitoring data – supporting the clinician in assessing key parameters such as fetal oxygenation levels and fetal heart rates.

Böblingen – our innovation hub in south-west Germany

Our Böblingen site has been at the heart of the obstetrical care
evolution over the last half a century. To this day, our engineers
continue to work with the very same passion for innovation.
