What if you could do that in the comfort of your home? What if you could avoid anxious phone calls or hospital visits by having a digital device at hand? The HeraBEAT fetal heart monitor promises peace of mind for both expecting mothers and their families, so we tested its capabilities. Although improvements would be welcome in some areas, especially user education, the experience of eavesdropping on the baby’s heartbeat is unbeatable. Here’s our review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The importance of offering peace of mind\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The idea of HeraBEAT and various other products of Israel-based \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhera-med.com\u002F\">HeraMED\u003C\u002Fa> was born out of Co-Founder and CEO David Groberman’s personal experiences. In 2011, he and his wife, Odelia, today parents to three children, experienced first-hand the overwhelming anxiety and stress which many pregnant couples face when concern for their unborn baby arises. One evening, Odelia, who was in her second trimester, realized she had not felt the baby for the whole day. After hours of trying to “wake up” the baby in vain, they decided to seek medical assistance. After hours of commute, administrative paperwork, and a long baby-monitoring procedure, they could finally get a doctor to glance at the results. He immediately said the baby was OK, and they could simply go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, David became eager to do something\nto avoid this experience. \u003Cstrong>He recognized the\nneed for a smart device: so parents could have the assurance that their baby’s\nfetal heart signs are in the normal range – no matter whether they are at home,\non holiday, or in a park enjoying the summer sun.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Later on, the HeraMED team sent us their first product, the HeraBEAT fetal heart monitor. As no one in the team is expecting a baby, we called for volunteers in our community to test it according to our \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fhow-do-we-review-technologies\">\u003Cstrong>review policy\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa>. A Hungarian medical student, Anna, who was 29-weeks pregnant and her husband, Greg, were more than happy to help. Now, let’s dive into the details of how the HeraBEAT performs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FHeraBEAT-512x326.jpg\" alt=\"Herabeat\" class=\"wp-image-23510\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FHeraBEAT-512x326.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FHeraBEAT.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: www.afrid-francisco.id\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Baby\nbump-adjusted design, but Bluetooth-connection troubles\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When you open the box, you will find a pocket-sized,\ndumpling-like, aesthetically pleasing sensor, a hard case, a charger, two gel\ntubes, and a user manual. \u003Cstrong>The sensor fits in your palm and it has a\nbaby bump-adjusted design. Anna said that it was a good idea to have the gel in\na smaller tube\u003C\u002Fstrong>, as this way the transmission material can be dosed more\nprecisely than it is usually done in a hospital setting in her experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After Anna and her husband, Greg, charged the device for four hours – the indicated charging time – and the green light was on, they immediately tried to pair it up with the accompanying app. However, \u003Cstrong>it took them a while until they found a compatible phone in their family – both Anna’s and Greg’s smartphones proved to be unable to connect via Bluetooth with the HeraBEAT sensor, so they used a third phone instead. They tried to look up technical support on the company website, but they didn’t find it too helpful\u003C\u002Fstrong> – the page could be much more user-friendly with more detailed and more easily available information on how to handle the sensor and the app, not just a note that if you download the app, everything’s going to be great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FHeraBEAT-pack-512x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23511\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Challenges\nof first-time usage\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Anna and Greg diligently read through the manual\nbefore the first use of the sensor. They found the offline information concise\nand descriptive, especially due to its explanatory images. Based on the manual,\nit is also easy to understand what the light variations signal on the device. Now\nthat the sensor was charged and paired with the app, the green light was on,\nAnna and her husband were eager to start the testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to the company, HeraBEAT applies the\nconventional Ultrasound Doppler technology, yet it amplifies its accuracy and\nefficiency using a set of 21st-century\nhardware and software optimizations. It has a patent pending multisensory unit\nfor measuring pregnancy and fetal heart rate. However, when we searched for\nscientific information or more data about the technology itself, the website\nwas not particularly helpful, so that’s certainly an area for improvement: we\nrecommend as many explanatory texts as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>When Anna and Greg tried the sensor, the first measurement didn’t go too well. Their little baby started to move around, and HeraBEAT didn’t produce results and didn’t indicate an error message. During the 20 minutes of measurement, they could only detect 5 seconds’ worth of heart sounds. Thus, on the following occasions, they were careful to choose a period when the baby was more relaxed\u003C\u002Fstrong>. In these time ranges, it was relatively easy to measure the fetal heart rate in the five-minute intervals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FHeraBEAT-sensor-512x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23512\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The\nwhole family gathers around the heartbeat\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>“\u003Cem>Who doesn’t want to listen to the heart\nsounds of their little one? At times when we did the measurements, our entire\nfamily gathered around us\u003C\u002Fem>”, Anna told enthusiastically to The Medical\nFuturist. She added that the registered heart sounds are automatically saved as\nshort, 20-second recordings alongside a summary chart and an image about a\nlong, detailed measurement. These can be shared in numerous ways, for example\nvia Facebook Messenger, with family members or the doctor\u003C\u002Fstrong>. Anna added that it is truly reassuring to have a\ndevice at home which can measure the baby’s pulse at once. If there’s any\nconcern for the little one’s well-being, it only takes seconds to at least know\nthat the child’s ticker is working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Regarding the measurements themselves, our testers\nfound that the values were in the normal range, and as a medical student, Anna\nsaid that the device even followed up nicely on physiological variability. On\nthe other hand, Anna and her husband were\nable to “con” the sensor, meaning that they tried to measure their own\nheartbeat – and they were pleased to note that it did not show any frequencies\ncorresponding to reality. However, they were surprised that the sensor did not\nsend any notifications when it constantly detected 200 beats per minute (bpm).\nThat’s one element where HeraBEAT has room for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another little annoyance, which might only be a bug in the app’s software, was that it had to be restarted every time after having shared the measurements. After they looked at the detailed measurement results, the app wasn’t able to navigate back to the home page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FFetal-Monitor-Review-512x201.jpg\" alt=\"Herabeat\" class=\"wp-image-23513\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FFetal-Monitor-Review-512x201.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FFetal-Monitor-Review-768x302.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FFetal-Monitor-Review-1536x604.jpg 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F04\u002FFetal-Monitor-Review.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: https:\u002F\u002Fherabeat.com\u002Ftestimonials\u002F\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Excellent at-home experience, but user education needed\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>In conclusion, our testers found that the use and measurement procedure of HeraBEAT is effortless, the device and the app are well-designed\u003C\u002Fstrong> and \u003Cstrong>user-friendly, and it’s an uplifting experience to measure a baby’s heart rate at home. \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Anna mentioned that she wouldn’t mind more education about the measurements – even at a basic level. As an example, she mentioned how margins of tolerance can be looked up when someone uses a blood pressure cuff, and the device indicates too high or too low values, or if it senses problems in the heart rhythm.

It doesn’t matter whether the intervention requires anesthesia or not, music has positive postoperative effects: the patient needs less medication and healing is faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Several studies have proven the efficiency of music during operation. For example, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\u002Fpubmed\u002F15816586\">researchers divided 75 patients undergoing open hernia repair into three groups\u003C\u002Fa>: intraoperative music, postoperative music, and silence (control group). They assessed stress response during and after surgery and found that in case patients who listened to music during or after surgery, their stress levels decreased – they needed significantly fewer painkillers and experienced less anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Surgery is not the only field where music helps ease patients’ situations. \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.healthcarebusinesstech.com\u002Fmusic-patients-staff\u002F\">Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh decided to see\u003C\u002Fa> if providing patients with the comfort of familiar music could help. It did. Patients on mechanical ventilation were allowed to listen to music of their choosing every other day for 60 minutes. On days patients listened to music, they demonstrated significant decreases in respiratory rate, heart rate, anxiety and shortness of breath compared to non-music days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-21048\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"http:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F07\u002Fbrain-surgery.jpg\" alt=\"Music and digital health\" class=\"wp-image-21048\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F07\u002Fbrain-surgery.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F07\u002Fbrain-surgery-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F07\u002Fbrain-surgery-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F07\u002Fbrain-surgery-512x288.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Source: www.theglobeandmail.com\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Calming sounds instead of screaming alarms for hospital staff\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Hospitals and other medical facilities are surrounded by the cacophony of constant beeps and alarms – most of them keeping the nurses constantly busy checking patient rooms.
