Nov. 2, 2018

PeriGen, a perinatal early warning systems compay, announced northern Nevada’s Renown Health has implemented PeriGen’s PeriWatch labor analysis software in its childbirth unit. The software system includes PeriWatch Cues, a fetal surveillance solution that is both cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and validated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The software incorporates artificial intelligence features to help clinicians interpret fetal heart rate patterns and provides a consistent, objective, and standardized assessment to enhance care collaboration.

Renown Health, which provides care for more than 4,200 babies delivered each year, focuses on providing the most compassionate and comfortable environment for mothers and their newborns, knowing expectant mothers expect the best medical care to ensure their babies are born healthy.

PeriWatch labor analysis modules provide comprehensive, patented, FDA-cleared clinical decision support for the Renown Health labor & delivery team. Integrated with the health system’s Epic electronic health record system as part of its Epic Refresh Project, the software uses patented algorithms to help clinicians interpret fetal heart rate patterns and provides a consistent, objective and standardized assessment of the data as a basis for collaborative care at the bedside.
