Moyo Fast and Accurate Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring Impact Early detection of fetuses at risk can help prevent many of the 2 million early stillborns and asphyxia deaths, annually.1 Approach Field tests2 show that it typically takes 40-60 seconds to detect FHR by traditional handheld doppler devices, and a similar amount of time using Pinard stethoscopes.3,4 Moyo was developed to make FHR monitoring easier, faster, and more reliable. It can be used handheld or strapped on to the mother for prolonged monitoring. Moyo has an alarm function and a 30-min histogram. Results Field tests2 confirm that Moyo reliably detects FHR in under five seconds. A large study supported by a Saving Lives at Birth grant is underway to evaluate the effectiveness, acceptability, reliability and clinical impact of Moyo and the accompanying training program. 1.
