Oro Baby Alarm
How OROMED’s Innovative Technology is Reducing the Risk of Stillbirth
Stillbirths and miscarriages are heartbreaking events that deeply affect mothers and their families. Shockingly, research reveals that out of one million pregnancies in the UK, a quarter end in the tragic loss of the baby before birth. This is not just a local issue; in the US, over 6,000,000 pregnancies lead to 22,000 stillborn babies. In India, the scale of the problem is particularly alarming, with an estimated 286482 stillbirths in 2021, consistently ranking the nation first in the absolute number of stillbirths for over two decades.
And globally, there are a staggering 3.5 million stillborn babies every year. These distressing statistics highlight the urgent need for increased awareness and support for families affected by such devastating losses.
What Do Studies Say?
For example, a study in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology https://obgyn.
Another study led by Professor Alexandar HEAZELL at the Tommy’s Stillbirth Research Centre in Manchester (https://www.tommys.org/research/research- topics/stillbirth-research/sleeping-position-and-stillbirth)also confirmed a link between miscarriages and stillbirths and the supine (back) sleeping position.
In response to this research, we have collaborated with a professor and implemented his suggestions. He highlighted that the sound of a baby crying can be distressing for mothers who have experienced stillbirths. As a result, we have designed and produced a new ORO Stillbirth Baby Alarm. This alarm replaces the sound of the baby’s crying with vibration. Vibration is more effective as only the mother can feel it without disturbing the father’s sleep. The ORO Stillbirth Baby Alarm is classified as a medical device with a CE certificate ZKT-2306164516E, which should alleviate potential concerns for expectant mothers.
SIDE SLEEPING
Unveiling the Groundbreaking Approach to Supporting Expectant Mothers
Extensive observational studies in humans have shown other insights. Pregnant women who sleep on their backs have a 2.6-fold increased risk of Stillbirth. When a pregnant woman lies flat on her back, the uterus can fall backwards, compressing her aorta and inferior vena cava (one of the main veins returning blood and oxygen to the heart), affecting in-utero blood flow. That is on of main reasons for Stillbirth and loss of a baby. That can happen during maternal sleep, leading to recommendations that pregnant women sleep on their side rather than their back. And they stated: “There are no proven interventions to promote this practice”.
That prompted us at OROMED to do something about it, and our latest invention, was created.Introducing the groundbreaking ORO Stillbirth Baby Alarm, our latest invention is specifically designed to bring peace of mind to expectant mothers, especially those who have experienced the heartbreak of stillbirth. The ORO Stillbirth Baby Alarm’s unique feature is not just convenient, it’s potentially lifesaving. By ensuring that expectant mothers don’t sleep on their backs for longer than a minute when turning from one side to the other, this innovative medical device has the power to reduce stillbirth by 50%, potentially saving countless lives.
