PREGmatic: the right pregnancy care at the right place

PREGmatic is a project focused on quaternary prevention of pregnancy complications, by improving pregnancy care using remote digital telemonitoring solutions, across Europe.  

Aims 

The goal is to ensure pregnant women receive care in the right setting—outpatient care when possible, and inpatient care when needed—while using AI to support clinicians in making informed decisions.  

Methods 

The project targets high-risk pregnancies with preeclampsia, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes without contractions, diabetes, fetal growth restriction, recurrent reduced fetal movements, fetal anomaly requiring daily monitoring and subsequent hospital admission, or fetal death in a previous pregnancy. The study will compare the effectiveness of these new remote digital pregnancy care pathways with traditional methods in four hospitals across Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands.   

(Expected) results 

Results will provide insights into how technology and data can improve care, prevent overmedicalization, and ensure timely and appropriate support for pregnant women.

ZonMw-program: Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS)

How can we make sure care remains affordable and accessible? This is a challenge that many countries in Europe face. The Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) programme funds international studies and innovation projects designed to contribute to a more sustainable, future-ready, people-centred health and care system. This is one of the projects that has been awarded funding. View the other projects here.
