What PeriGen does

PeriGen is a US-based healthcare technology company that develops and sells AI-powered perinatal software to hospital labor and delivery (L&D) departments and large health systems. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, the company operates as a subsidiary of UK-listed safety technology conglomerate Halma plc. PeriGen's product portfolio centers on two flagship modules: PeriWatch Surveillance, a 510(k)-cleared centralized fetal monitoring and documentation platform, and PeriWatch Vigilance, the only FDA-cleared continuous fetal heart rate pattern analysis commercially available in the United States. Vigilance applies supervised machine learning to interpret FHR patterns and uterine contractions in near-real time to flag maternal and fetal risk, supported by a proprietary dataset built from 750,000+ births annually across 500+ hospitals in the US and Canada.

The platform extends into complementary modules including LaborWatch for automated safety threshold notifications, Quality Reports for performance tracking, the Vigilance Mobile App for clinician access, and Obstetric Command Centers that enable system-wide oversight across multi-hospital enterprises. The PeriCALM suite (Patterns, CheckList, Tracings, and Curve) provides protocol compliance, pattern recognition, and labor-progress visualization tools. PeriGen generates revenue through an enterprise SaaS subscription model with quote-based, multi-year contracts sold through direct enterprise field sales targeting clinical, operational, and executive stakeholders at health systems. The company maintains strategic partnerships with AWHONN (continuing education) and the Foundation for SMFM, and its clinical research team publishes peer-reviewed work in journals including AJOG.

Core offering

PeriGen develops and licenses AI-powered perinatal software sold to hospitals and health systems. The platform combines FDA-cleared continuous fetal heart rate pattern analysis (PeriWatch Vigilance®) and 510(k)-cleared centralized fetal surveillance with documentation workflows (PeriWatch Surveillance™), augmented by command-center oversight, mobile access, quality reporting, threshold-based alerting, and the PeriCALM® analytical and training modules. The system supports labor and delivery teams in earlier identification of maternal and fetal risk during childbirth.

Product overview

PeriGen offers a comprehensive perinatal software platform with a modular architecture centered on two core products: PeriWatch Surveillance™ (a 510k-cleared centralized fetal monitoring system) and PeriWatch Vigilance® (an FDA-cleared AI-powered early warning system using supervised machine learning for fetal heart rate interpretation). The platform is augmented by Command Centers for enterprise-wide oversight, the Vigilance Mobile App for mobile access, Quality Reports for performance tracking, and LaborWatch® for automated safety threshold alerts. The PeriCALM suite (Patterns, CheckList, Tracings, Curve) provides complementary training and analysis modules. The system supports approximately 750,000 births annually across 500+ hospitals in the United States and Canada.
