The image depicts promotional material for "EMBRYO - Fetal Monitoring Device." The scene shows a pregnant woman in a kitchen with a circular sensor and colorful adhesive strips applied to her belly, while holding lettuce near a cutting board with fresh vegetables. The product logo appears in the top left corner, suggesting a technological integration into daily life for maternal and fetal health.

Embryo - Every Beat Matters, a project developed by student Matteo Vicentini as part of the Final Synthesis Laboratory of the third year of the three-year degree course in Industrial Product Design 23/24, has been awarded the iF Design Student Award.

Embryo is a fetal ECG monitoring device designed for use at home to ensure the safety of both mother and baby in high-risk pregnancies. It detects fetal distress, such as hypoxia or asphyxia, by analyzing the QRS complex via ECG, providing crucial support to expectant mothers, while reducing hospital visits. It is ergonomic, wireless, and seamlessly integrates into clothing with its customizable fabric cover.
