Pregnancy app launches ‘digital birth companion’

Carea, the pregnancy and postnatal wellbeing app, has launched its new Contraction Timer designed to support women during labour through a combination of contraction tracking, labour pattern analysis and wellbeing tools.

While contraction timers are among the most commonly used digital tools during labour, many simply track timings and offer little additional support. Carea’s Contraction Timer has been developed as an all-in-one birth companion to help women feel calmer, more in control and able to make informed decisions as labour progresses.

Women can track their contractions using the timer, while the app automatically records contraction duration, intervals and averages. Through intelligent labour pattern analysis, it builds a real-time picture of labour progression and provides prompts when labour appears to be advancing, helping users decide when to review their birth plan or contact maternity services.
