- Pregnant people who are between 32 weeks and 0 days, and 36 weeks and 6 days along in their pregnancy
- People who are carrying a single baby (not twins or more)
- People who have a medical reason to have their baby monitored at least twice a week — for example, due to high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia), the baby not growing as expected (fetal growth restriction), or the waters breaking early (preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes)

- People diagnosed with a serious pregnancy complication involving the blood, liver, and platelets (known as HELLP syndrome)
- People where a medical intervention or delivery is expected to be needed within the next 48 hours — for example, due to a concerning baby heart rate monitor result, active vaginal bleeding, signs the placenta may be separating early, meconium (baby's first stool) found in the waters, or signs of infection in the womb
- People admitted with a diagnosis of severe infection causing low blood pressure (septic shock)
- People who do not have enough understanding of Dutch or English to participate
- People who are not able to understand how to use the monitoring device or the patient information provided
- People where the baby or the mother has an irregular heart rhythm
