Abstract

Introduction: pre-eclampsia during pregnancy results in a higher risk of maternal and fetal death. Changes in lifestyle before and during pregnancy have been shown to reduce the risk of pregnancy complications. Wearable technologies are able to continuously monitor human physiology and dysfunction allowing events to be captured.
Purpose: to asses the use of wearable technologies for follow-up and monitoring of maternal and fetal health in pregnant women.
Methods: a narrative review of existing literature.
Results: a total of 14 studies focusing on new devices for online and distant fetal monitoring were selected.
Conclusions: use of wearable technologies substantially improves follow-up and monitoring of high and low risk pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. Moreover, such devices may improve promotion and implementation of health behaviors during pregnancy. There is a need for more scientific evidence on this subject.
