December 2025 Issue
As the twinkling lights go up and the scent of baking fills the air, we know December can be a whirlwind – both at home and in the unit. You’re there for some of life’s most incredible moments, day in and day out, and we just wanted to take a moment to say how much we admire your strength, compassion, and tireless dedication.
More than anything, we want to wish you and your families the happiest, most peaceful, and truly joyous holidays. May your days be filled with warmth, laughter, and all the good things you deserve. Thank you for everything you do – you truly make a difference!
Warmly,
The OBIX Team

The Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast
Our goal is Healthy moms. Healthy babies. Healthy outcomes.
We are gathering real world stories to highlight in future newsletters, campaigns, and on our website. We’d love to hear about your experiences using the OBIX System and/or OBIX BeCA fetal monitor and how they have supported you in caring for your patients.
By sharing these OBIX Stories we want to celebrate the joyous moments of birth and how the OBIX technology plays a role in supporting positive outcomes.
To protect patient privacy, all stories submitted must not contain any Protected Health Information (PHI). The company reserves the right to edit stories.
By sharing these powerful narratives, we hope to create a community of shared positive experiences and further our commitment to supporting healthy families.
