Most pregnant women who are at risk of preterm birth are hospitalized but end up giving birth at
term. REA develops a smart panty liner that analyzes vaginal secretions and alerts the doctor via a
mobile app if the mom-to-be has to go to the hospital. This solution allows the pregnant woman to
be monitored in the comfort of her own home, sparing her from potentially months of unnecessary
hospital stays and overtreatment with medications.
