Redefining Pregnancy Care in Times of Crisis — and Beyond

Written by Sandy Hammer | Dec 15, 2025 12:59:59 PM
When war breaks out, the first instinct is survival.
Hospitals fill up, resources tighten, and for expectant mothers, fear takes on a whole new meaning. Yet even in those moments, life insists on continuing — and so does care.

That reality became painfully clear in Israel after October 7, 2023, when hospitals like Sheba Medical Center had to move hundreds of patients to safety while still ensuring critical medical oversight. Among those displaced were women with high-risk pregnancies — patients who, under normal circumstances, would never leave continuous hospital monitoring.

But thanks to Nuvo’s INVU™ remote monitoring solution, they did. And they remained safe.

From Emergency Response to Everyday Transformation

When Sheba’s medical teams made the decision to send high-risk expectant mothers home, they were stepping into uncharted territory — trusting technology to bridge the gap between hospital and home.

With INVU™, these women continued to receive real-time, clinician-guided monitoring of maternal and fetal heart rates, uterine activity, and vital health patterns — all from their own living rooms. Doctors could review the data remotely and intervene instantly if anything seemed off.

This wasn’t just telehealth — it was connected care in its truest form.
And it worked.

For many of those mothers, outcomes actually improved. Babies carried longer. Anxiety levels dropped. Families stayed together.

What began as a crisis response became a case study in the future of maternal health: resilient, data-driven, and centered around the woman — not the hospital.

The Power of “Care Everywhere”

The experience in Israel revealed something that goes far beyond wartime medicine:
If safe, reliable, and accurate monitoring can happen in a conflict zone, it can — and should — happen anywhere.

Across the world, millions of women struggle with limited access to prenatal care. Geography, mobility, or cost barriers prevent them from attending frequent clinic visits. In some regions, there aren’t enough OB/GYNs to go around.

INVU™ offers a bridge.
By combining advanced biopotential and acoustic sensors with AI-powered analysis, Nuvo enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring prescribed by clinicians and completed at home. It’s a system designed for the moments when hospital walls can’t — or shouldn’t — define where care happens.

Rewriting the Narrative of Maternal Health

The data is staggering: maternal mortality rates are rising, especially in developed countries. Care gaps are widening. Yet at the same time, wearable technology and digital health tools are advancing faster than ever before.

Nuvo sits at the intersection of those two truths.
Its mission isn’t just to innovate for convenience — it’s to make equitable, continuous, and compassionate care accessible to every mother, everywhere.

What happened in Israel is not just proof that remote monitoring can work in war — it’s proof that it can redefine the standard of care in peace.

The Human Story Behind the Technology

At the heart of Nuvo’s work isn’t just circuitry or software — it’s empathy.
The INVU™ system was born from one father’s desire to keep his wife and unborn child safe, and it continues to serve that same purpose for mothers around the world.

Whether in the calm of everyday life or in the chaos of conflict, the goal remains the same:
to let women feel seen, supported, and safe — without compromise.

In times of peace, Nuvo empowers connection. In times of crisis, it protects it.
That’s the future of maternal care — everywhere.
