Alex Peahl, MD, MSc, on the feasibility of patient-operated remote biophysical profiles

Antenatal surveillance for high-risk pregnancies has remained largely tethered to in-person visits, even as telemedicine has expanded across other areas of prenatal care, such as antenatal testing for nonstress tests. “Remote biophysical profiles (BPPs), if feasible, could provide gold standard antenatal fetal surveillance at home, improving access to care and reducing patient burden,” wrote authors of a research letter published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine.¹
