Abstract

Stillbirth is a tragedy that abruptly ends around 3 million pregnancies a year around the globe. A devastation that affects 1 in 150 pregnancies in Australia. This grant aims to develop new tests that can help pregnant women and their families avoid the devastation of a stillbirth. The first test is a blood test during pregnancy that flags those with an unwell, unborn baby at risk of stillbirth. The second is a novel sensor device to prevent stillbirth during labour.
