1.2 INVU by Nuvo™ Overview

The INVU by Nuvo™ System is a safe, non-invasive wearable monitoring system, that

provides continuous passive monitoring of vital pregnancy data of the pregnant woman and

her fetus, through the INVU™ App. The information it provides is:

• Fetal heart rate (FHR)

• Maternal heart rate (MHR)

The system includes a wearable sensory band (INVU Sensor Band™) that connects wirelessly

to the INVU™ App installed on the pregnant woman’s mobile device.

The system may include additional peripheral devices, such as a blood pressure measuring

device, depending on the care plan prescribed by the pregnant woman’s medical supervisor.

The INVU™ App installed on the pregnant woman’s smartphone can log the measured blood

pressure.

The monitored pregnancy data is displayed on the mobile device by the INVU™ App. The

recorded monitored pregnancy data can also be viewed by an assigned medical supervisor

(or by a remote monitoring medical service), using the INVU Pro™ web application (not

described in this manual).

1.3 INVU by Nuvo™ Technology

The INVU by Nuvo™ Technology includes the processing of signals that are measured by

passive, non-invasive, acoustic and bio-potential surface sensors that are placed on the

intact skin of the maternal abdomen. The sensors are attached to the pregnant woman’s

abdomen by a uniquely designed band (INVU Sensor Band™ ), which transmits the measured

data via cloud-based algorithms to a server that processes the measured data for near real-

time pregnancy status monitoring.

INVU by Nuvo™ acquires and displays the FHR and MHR tracing from bio-potential sensors

that pick up the Fetal ECG (fECG) and the maternal ECG (mECG) signals, and from the acoustic

sensors that pick up the fetal PCG (fPCG; phonocardiogram) and the maternal PCG (mPCG;

phonocardiogram) signals.

Data presented to the pregnant woman

• Average FHR of the entire session.

• Average MHR of the entire session.

• Kicks added by the pregnant woman during the monitoring session.

The pregnant woman’s monitored data will be shared with her assigned doctor/medical

supervisor.
