A Northwestern Medicine team has developed a first-of-its-kind flexible probe, designed for continuous real-time fetal monitoring during surgery.&nbsp;&nbsp; This innovation is the result of a collaboration between Northwestern University bioelectronics pioneer&nbsp;John Rogers, PhD,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Aimen Shaaban, MD, director of the Chicago Institute for Fetal Health. In this episode, Shaaban explains how the device works, how the collaboration took&nbsp;place&nbsp;and what it will take to bring this technology out of the lab and into clinical care.&nbsp; Breakthroughs http://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41379630/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/41379630
