What is the definition or description of: home doppler?

No such thing: In what context are you referring to. Dopplers are historically done in the hospital or specialists office, like a vascular lab.

Baby monitor: A doppler is a special type of ultrasound used to monitor a baby's heartbeat. They are used in prenatal visits and can be bought or rented for home use. They are considered safe and while not necessary, can re-assure parents that the baby is doing ok before they feel fetal movement. Once the baby's movement is noticed, then daily kick counts are just as re-assuring.
