PregMon: Smarter Prenatal Care with Edge Intelligence and Mobile Health
Pregnancy is a life-changing journey that requires continuous care, monitoring, and communication with healthcare providers. Traditionally, this has meant frequent physical visits to the doctor, which can be stressful, time-consuming, and inconvenient for expectant mothers.
Our company has developed PregMon, a digital health solution designed to make prenatal care smarter, more accessible, and more efficient. By combining edge computing, mobile health, and AI, PregMon bridges the gap between patients and doctors—reducing the number of physical visits while ensuring mothers receive the same level of care.
How PregMon Works
PregMon consists of two core components: edge software and a mobile app. Together, they create a seamless ecosystem for remote monitoring.
Edge Device for Seamless Data Collection
Each expecting mother is provided with a Raspberry Pi-based edge device equipped with NB-IoT connectivity. This device acts as a gateway, securely collecting health data from Bluetooth-enabled medical devices such as:
- Weight measuring device
- Blood pressure monitor
The edge device automatically gathers this information, transmits it to the cloud platform, and syncs it with the PregMon mobile app in real-time.
Mobile App with AR Guidance
The PregMon mobile app makes health monitoring easy and intuitive:
- Augmented Reality (AR) guidance helps the mother use the medical devices correctly.
- The app displays her latest health data in an accessible format.
- The app ensures that both the patient and her doctor have synchronized, real-time information.
Doctor Dashboard
On the healthcare provider side, doctors can access a cloud dashboard that visualizes patient data, making it easy to track progress, identify concerns, and provide timely advice—without requiring the patient to be physically present.
AI-Powered Health Insights
PregMon is not just a data collector—it is an intelligent health companion. The edge software includes Agentic AI functionality, which sends both historical and latest values to an LLM server via API. The AI then translates complex data into human-readable insights, ensuring both doctors and patients can easily understand the health trends.
Benefits of PregMon

A Step Toward Smarter Prenatal Care
PregMon is more than a monitoring tool—it represents the next step in patient-centered digital healthcare. By combining IoT, edge computing, cloud analytics, AR, and AI, we aim to empower both expecting mothers and doctors with better communication, better insights, and better outcomes.
This is not just about reducing clinic visits; it’s about creating a safer, smarter, and more supportive journey to motherhood.
