Raydiant Oximetry – Detecting Fetal Distress During Labor and Delivery

NICHD awarded small business funding to Raydiant Oximetry to support the development of LumerahTM, a non-invasive fetal pulse oximeter that detects fetal distress by directly measuring fetal arterial blood oxygen saturation. Lumerah has the potential to reduce rates of emergency Cesarean delivery and newborn neurological injury, as well as lower healthcare costs associated with childbirth. The technology can also serve as a research tool for better insights on pregnancy complications, including intrauterine growth restriction, preterm labor, and stillbirth.
