Sensor inputs
Movement and skin-temperature sensing are options to evaluate. No fetal-heartbeat or diagnostic capability has been established.
A tiny wearable · Hardware concept
The Birth
Small enough to fit your day.
A small, simple BirthTech module conceived for the Smart Belt, a pendant or an adhesive patch. A new hardware direction for mother and baby.
In development · Design concept
Concept illustrations. Dimensions, sensing capabilities, attachment suitability and availability are still to be established.
The Birth · Hardware in development
One small module. Different ways to wear it.
Our next hardware direction brings a tiny, simple module into different attachments. The BirthTech logo stays on the device, whether it sits in the Smart Belt, a pendant or a patch.
The Smart Belt holds The Birth close to the mother’s abdomen. A patch explores wearing it directly on the skin, while a pendant offers another format for adults. A dedicated baby attachment is a separate development direction.
How we are developing the idea
- 01
Make it small
Explore a discreet enclosure with the BirthTech mark.
- 02
Explore the fit
Develop belt, adult pendant and patch attachments.
- 03
Validate each use
Establish suitable sensing, skin contact and secure wear for each intended user.
- 04
Connect the experience
Explore supported device information in Plan B Mom and Baby Care.
Development direction, not a completed or clinically validated system. Baby use requires separate validation.
The Birth · Proposed technology
How the technology works
The pebble is the proposed sensing device. The belt, pendant and patch are ways to hold it. Our development direction connects local sensor inputs to a phone, then to a clearer view in the companion app.
- 01
Sense
Explore movement and skin-temperature inputs from sensors in the pebble. The supported measurements will depend on the final hardware and where it is worn.
- 02
Check & process
A small controller would organise sensor samples and check signal quality before preparing supported readings for transfer.
- 03
Send to the phone
A proposed Bluetooth Low Energy connection would link The Birth to a compatible phone. Pairing and app integration are still to be developed.
- 04
Review in the app
Plan B Mom and Baby Care would present supported trends alongside the user’s routines. AI-assisted interpretation is a research direction, not a validated medical feature.
Inside the pebble
Functional blocks under consideration, not a confirmed component list.
Local processing
A controller would coordinate sampling and signal checks. The processor, algorithms and performance targets are not yet selected.
Wireless connection
Bluetooth Low Energy is the proposed phone link. Compatibility, connection behaviour and data protection need implementation and testing.
Power & enclosure
A compact power system would fit inside the smooth enclosure. Battery type, charging method, runtime and water resistance remain to be confirmed.
Why the wearing position matters
A belt, a loose pendant and a skin patch do not provide the same contact or movement conditions. We need to test each format separately; the same measurements cannot be assumed across every attachment. A baby version also needs its own fit and suitability validation.
This describes the proposed architecture, not a working or clinically validated system. The current images demonstrate the form and wearing concepts; sensor specifications and app connectivity are unconfirmed.

Designed around real life.
Inside the Smart Belt
The Birth is the proposed compact module at the centre of the belt, carrying the BirthTech mark on its face.
As a pendant
A simple pendant holder explores an alternative way for adults to wear the same small module.
As an adhesive patch
A soft patch format is proposed for external wear on the mother’s abdomen. Skin contact and placement need validation.
A direction for baby care
A dedicated baby attachment is part of the concept. Infant fit, skin compatibility and secure attachment require separate development.

A little more clarity
Good to know.
How does The Birth relate to the Smart Belt?
The Birth is the name of our proposed small device module. The Smart Belt is one way to hold and wear it.
Is it ready for use on babies or during pregnancy?
These illustrations show the design direction. Pregnancy and infant applications require their own suitability and safety validation before use. The pendant format is for adults.
What will it measure?
Sensing capabilities have not been confirmed. We are developing the form and attachment options; these images do not establish fetal monitoring or other medical capabilities.
