In a study of 23 pregnant patients, the app landed within about 2 beats per minute of a medical-grade Doppler. That’s well inside the 8 BPM margin doctors accept. The idea is to give more people access to regular fetal monitoring…

Just yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Section 122 tariffs could be raised by another 15 percent this week, The New York Times reported. And over the next five months, the tech industry could be paying tariffs at the same levels as under Trump’s IEEPA tariffs, Bessent has claimed.
