Just a update on the Radx NIH maternal challenge .
Significant or not is still not clear to me.  

The timeline to announce a winner was April 2024 but the timeline has been extended.Not sure when the announcement could be made.  Cardiex are in the final round after progressing through 2 previous rounds.


Just some initial thoughts  but i would think a win or just making the final could give an opportunity for adoption of pulse to be used  in the maternal space.
