Abstract :

Intrauterine activity is one of the most ancient and important signs of fetal well-being. Itâ�?�?s perception reassures pregnant women and improves the fetus-maternal relationship. In 2012 Filiberto Di Prospero as a member of the Apple Developer Program published Fetal Activity Monitor (FAM), an app for smartphones and tablet PC that helps pregnant women in fetal movements, counting (kicks count); FAM for the first time introduced an interpretative support, integrable in more complex fetal surveillance systems. The new software (code name â�?�?Roseâ�?) that will be presented, provides a better diagnostic accuracy considering fetal Biorhythms. The Rose project is a great step forward and is an example of modern proximity medicine, that merges advanced scientific knowledge in fetal life with informatics and the modern wearable electronic technology.
