Scientists have created a device that can detect early signs of life-threatening bleeding after birth.
The gadget, worn on the wrist, uses laser sensors to detect any sudden change in blood flow that would indicate heavy bleeding in the body. Post-partum haemorrhage accounts for roughly a tenth of all maternal deaths in the UK.
Following animal tests, researchers at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, are now recruiting pregnant women to take part in a clinical study.

Coughing predicts level of Covid care
Listening to a Covid patient’s cough can allow doctors to predict whether they will need urgent care, according to a study.
Spanish researchers analysed the coughs of 70 patients with Covid and were able to build a computer model that could spot which patients had a severe infection.
The model takes into account cough frequency, as well as how it sounds, which might suggest how badly infected the lungs are, according to the scientists at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.
