Attachment 1 |
| 1. | Description of Data: |
All data derived from the Project (e.g., data subject usage of Recipient’s INVU system and beyond) including without limitation, fetal and maternal heart rate that is obtained from pregnant women in their third trimester.

NUVO has developed and owns a proprietary prenatal remote monitoring system known as “INVU” (the “System”) which, generates/collects various forms of diagnostic fetal data arising from patient usage and can be made available to research facilities and institutions for the purpose of carrying out pregnancy-related research. The University of Utah will recruit pregnant women with a wide range of emotion dysregulation during their third trimester, conduct physiological assessments of mood and stress in the home, conduct newborn neurobehavioral exams at birth, and follow-up with mothers and infants postpartum at 7 and 18 months.
| 3. | Provider Support and Data Transmission: |
Provider shall transmit the Data to Recipient: (select one) ☒ electronically or ☐ by mail to:
