Prenatek

Prenatek, Inc. was a medical technology company based in Dublin, California, that specialized in the development of innovative fetal monitoring solutions. Founded in 2004 by serial entrepreneur Adnan Shennib, the company developed a proprietary disposable smart patch designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of fetal heart rate and uterine activity. The technology aimed to provide a more comfortable, mobile, and low-profile alternative to traditional electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) systems, making it suitable for both clinical and home use. Although the company secured several patents and established a medical advisory board of leading experts, it is no longer active, with its leadership moving on to other ventures in the early 2010s.
