Nuvo's Ritmo Beats and PregSense

Ritmo Beats and PregSense are designed to make pregnancy more transparent for parents and ...


  • Nuvo's alternative involves placing numerous passive sensors in a wearable product, combining it with cloud computing to make pregnancy more transparent to both parents and their doctors.
  • The Ritmo Beats is the consumer version of the product, and carries multiple acoustic and ECG sensors to provide mothers with real-time data on their unborn child's cardiac activity. 
  • The collected raw data is processed live in the cloud using patented algorithms, with the consumer buying live processing time by the hour.
  • Users will be able to access the data on their smartphone or through the company's website, where they can record and share the baby's heartbeat with friends and family.
  • The PregSense is the medical-grade version of the product. According to the company, most of the differences happen in the background, with the device itself carrying the same array of sensors. 
  • The data provided to Ritmo Beats users is limited to a level that's appropriate for consumer wellness use, PregSense will provide doctors with a wide range of stats, from the heart rates of the mother and fetus, to kicks, sleep state and contractions. 
  • The company intends to have the product approved by regulatory bodies, and will provide less restricted access to the cloud platform.
