BeiHuJia: Bringing Obstetricians Home for Expectant Mothers – A Smart Remote Fetal Monitoring Solution

During pregnancy, prenatal check-ups are essential, with fetal monitoring being a critical component. In the second and third trimesters, fetal monitoring is mandatory at every prenatal visit, serving as a key method for assessing the fetus’s condition within the uterus. This period is often marked by heightened anxiety among expectant mothers, who frequently worry about their baby’s well-being. Under current healthcare conditions, however, pregnant women face long queues for prenatal examinations and fetal monitoring at hospitals, resulting in a less-than-ideal patient experience. Many expectant mothers may wish for a product that would allow them to monitor their baby’s condition anytime and anywhere, while also receiving timely evaluations and guidance from professional obstetricians.

From the perspective of clinical obstetricians, there has been a persistent clinical need in managing pregnant women as a special population: How to provide follow-up care for pregnant women with high-risk factors who do not meet the criteria for hospitalization after they return home? How to monitor at home those whose fetal heart rate monitoring results are only marginally acceptable during prenatal check-ups? How to conduct follow-up tracking for pregnant women discharged after receiving treatment for threatened miscarriage or preterm labor? There are many such issues. There is an expectation for a product that can provide comprehensive tracking and management for both pregnant women and their fetuses throughout pregnancy.

Remote Wireless Fetal Monitoring System: Born for Pregnancy

Beihujia Remote Mobile Fetal Monitoring System is a medical service product that integrates portable monitoring hardware with software. It offers pregnant women a new approach to prenatal fetal monitoring, enabling them to conduct monitoring anytime and anywhere to assess intrauterine fetal conditions as needed. Obstetricians can also track the status of both the mother and fetus in real time through Beihujia’s professional app, providing timely expert guidance and recommendations. The introduction of Beihujia effectively addresses the needs of both patients and healthcare providers by delivering personalized, specialized medical services.

Pregnant women can opt for remote mobile fetal monitoring services at Beihujia’s partner hospitals by purchasing service packages. Using the medical-grade Beihujia remote wireless fetal monitor and a dedicated professional mobile app, they can perform fetal monitoring independently anytime and anywhere outside the hospital, while simultaneously listening to their baby’s heartbeat. Within 20–30 minutes, graphical tracings of three key monitoring indicators—fetal heart rate, fetal movement, and uterine contraction pressure—are generated. These tracings are uploaded via the app to Beihujia’s cloud-based monitoring server, triggering an in-app push notification through Beihujia’s physician-dedicated software to alert the managing obstetrician to review the monitoring results. Typically, within half an hour, pregnant women receive professional assessments and recommendations from physicians via the app.

BeiHuJia App Interface

Beihujia’s proprietary, intellectual property-protected remote wireless fetal monitor is a medical-grade terminal data acquisition device. The company has developed professional-grade software for physicians, users, and services, along with a mobile app and a central cloud-based monitoring system, and has filed a series of patents. Furthermore, it has established a comprehensive closed-loop medical service system to ensure timely processing of user information and an optimal experience for both pregnant women and physicians. Within this closed-loop service framework, if the attending obstetrician fails to review and respond to the managed patient data within the scheduled timeframe, an on-duty platform physician will promptly intervene at the designated time to safeguard user experience and safety. Additionally, the customer service team will conduct timely telephone follow-ups based on the physician’s recommendations, providing professional guidance to pregnant users on implementing the advised measures. Pioneeringly, Beihujia has stationed specialized medical personnel—remote fetal monitoring specialists—at hospital terminals to ensure service closure and continuous follow-up.

Beihujia Remote Wireless Fetal Monitoring Service: Pregnant women can select appropriate times for fetal monitoring on demand, anytime and anywhere, enabling a more authentic assessment of intrauterine fetal status. They can also receive timely guidance from obstetric specialists as needed, with professional recommendations based on effective fetal monitoring data. Thus, fetal monitoring effectively provides the convenience of a real-time private physician, making fetal monitoring during the second and third trimesters a timely, easy, and convenient daily routine. Additionally, during regular prenatal checkups in the second and third trimesters, expectant mothers can perform fetal monitoring at home in advance and directly print the monitoring report at the hospital’s fetal monitoring room, saving time spent queuing and waiting for monitoring. This optimizes the hospital’s fetal monitoring workflow, making regular prenatal visits more relaxed and efficient.

BeiHujia automatically generates individualized, comprehensive, and continuous dynamic records of perinatal monitoring from the fetal monitoring data charts uploaded by pregnant users. This facilitates holistic assessment and clinical judgment by physicians, helping a significant number of expectant mothers avoid unnecessary cesarean sections. Additionally, it enables timely detection of signs of intrauterine fetal hypoxia, thereby guiding pregnant women to take appropriate corrective measures.

In the realm of “Internet Plus Healthcare,” the initial surge was driven by online light consultation platforms represented by Chunyu Doctor, which primarily offered online health advisory services for common ailments. Subsequently, niche players emerged, including companies specializing in hardware products for chronic disease management, such as diabetes. However, the Beihujia team has always maintained that medicine is a rigorous discipline; in the model of “Mobile Internet Plus Healthcare,” healthcare remains the core, while mobile internet serves merely as a tool, and integration with physicians is essential. Beihujia’s medical-grade remote wireless fetal monitor collects data at the terminal level, and professional physicians provide recommendations and guidance based on effective fetal monitoring data patterns, thereby ensuring true clinical significance.

The BeiHuJia team comprises medical professionals, software and hardware developers, sales personnel with extensive experience in the healthcare industry, and specialists in academic promotion within the medical field. Their industry background enables them to thoroughly understand the needs of obstetricians and pregnant women, as well as the operational mechanisms of the current healthcare system, ensuring that the project is practical and grounded in real-world applications. The BeiHuJia team stated, “In the face of the ‘Internet + Healthcare’ wave, we have been diligently working behind the scenes. Although we do not engage in the high-profile cash-burning tactics seen in other funded enterprises, we deliver tangible solutions and enhance the experience for users, doctors, and hospitals at every partner institution. Most importantly, we are profitable and sustainable. When the time comes for our breakthrough transformation, we will realize our dream of creating significant social benefits and robust economic returns. Of course, we warmly welcome and look forward to capital investment to help us refine and expand our project, accelerating the realization of our vision.”

Subsectors Hold Great Promise: The Market Potential of Mobile Fetal Monitoring

There are nearly 16 million pregnant women in China each year. With the relaxation of the two-child policy, this demographic is expected to grow even larger, presenting substantial market potential. The majority of today’s expectant mothers belong to the post-80s and post-90s generations. They hold more contemporary consumption values, demonstrate strong interest in and greater acceptance of high-tech medical products and services—particularly emerging “mobile internet + healthcare” offerings—and have pressing, rigid demands for personalized medical care.

Currently, Beihujia acquires users through three primary channels. The first is user acquisition via patient education provided in hospital-based “Prenatal Classes” conducted in partnership with healthcare institutions. The second is word-of-mouth referrals driven by positive user experiences among pregnant women. The third, and currently the most significant source, consists of pregnant women referred by obstetricians. Moving forward, the team plans to promote its services at professional academic conferences in obstetrics and gynecology, while enhancing user education and marketing efforts on its online platform.

Following the launch of its third-generation hardware and professional mobile application earlier this year, along with the completion of its system platform and service infrastructure, the Beihujia team has adopted a dual-pronged strategy—building an in-house sales force and recruiting distributors—to aggressively expand its market presence. Operating as a remote mobile fetal monitoring service provider in partnership with hospitals, Beihujia has established collaborations or expressions of interest with nearly 100 hospitals across Guangdong, Hainan, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Fujian, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and other regions. The platform now serves nearly 10,000 pregnant women, having accumulated over 100,000 fetal monitoring records. Among these, hundreds of classic cases demonstrate how the Beihujia remote wireless fetal monitoring system resolved clinical issues and prevented adverse outcomes, yielding significant social benefits and substantial economic returns.

“In the future, fetal monitoring data generated by Beihujia will be collected to form a big database. ‘We will conduct in-depth mining of these data to provide precise data analysis and support development and scientific research. Starting from the specialized field of obstetrics, we are making a vertical entry into the ‘Internet + Healthcare’ sector. We also plan to expand both the front-end and back-end of obstetric care, enabling pregnant users to receive prenatal health guidance and pregnancy-related knowledge through our app during early pregnancy, enjoy our remote fetal monitoring services during the middle and late stages of pregnancy, and access postpartum care advice and parenting information after delivery. They can even choose confinement nannies (yuesao) and customize services such as confinement meals and soups. Ultimately, we aim to evolve into a platform-based product service, which represents a significant business opportunity,’ said Mr. Li Chunting, founder of Beihujia.”
