Cardiotocography (CTG) is used to assess the health of the fetus during birth or antenatally in the third trimester. It concurrently detects the maternal uterine contractions (UC) and fetal heart rate (FHR). Fetal distress, which may require therapeu...
Standard clinical practice to assess fetal well-being during labour utilises monitoring of the fetal heart rate (FHR) using cardiotocography. However, visual evaluation of FHR signals can result in subjective interpretations leading to inter and intr...

OBJECTIVE: To propose a computerized system utilizing multiscene analysis based on a support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess cardiotocography (CTG) intelligently.
This study uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and cardiotocography data for the real-time classification of fetal status in the mobile application of a pregnant woman and the computer server of a data expert at the same time (The sensor is con...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prenatal fetal monitoring, which can monitor the growth and health of the fetus, is very vital for pregnant women before delivery. During pregnancy, it is crucial to judge whether the fetus is abnormal, which helps obstetric...
We have developed deep learning models for automatic identification of the maternal heart rate (MHR) and, more generally, false signals (FSs) on fetal heart rate (FHR) recordings. The models can be used to preprocess FHR data prior to automated analy...
