How Kali Healthcare is Reimagining Fetal Monitoring to Improve Pregnancy Outcomes

A/Prof Fiona Brownfoot and Dr. Emerson Keenan are the co-founders of Kali Healthcare, a company determined to improve fetal monitoring — technology that has remained largely unchanged since the 1960s.

Kali Healthcare has developed an electrical sensing wearable patch for fetal monitoring, providing clinicians with real-time information leading to improved patient outcomes.

Fiona and Emerson discuss the power of consumer-centric design (like making the hardware look like a makeup compact), and offer key lessons on how to secure funding and integrate new technology into complex healthcare systems.
