PregAura – Smart Non-Contact Distant Maternal Care for Pregnant Women During COVID Times

The whole world is suffering from the COVID pandemic. Social distancing is a new norm. Patients are worried as it is not safe to go to the doctor for consultation. Urban patients with mild illnesses can get Tele-Consultation but for patients in serious conditions or those who live in rural areas, just consultation is not enough, especially for Pregnant Women. Pregnant women are at high risk during an antenatal checkup because they can easily become infected with COVID-19 due to poor hygiene and crowding. Every year, 3 crore pregnancies are recorded in India.

The solution to this problem is a contact-less booth. An attached screen to the booth displays the recorded vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, oxygen level, etc.) of a pregnant woman with no or minimal contact. The data acquired by sanitizable devices can be easily transferred to the cloud and further sent to the doctor in case of need.
