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.
