. Fetal and maternal health during pregnancy can be monitored with sensors such as Doppler or scalp fetal ECG. This study focuses on single-channel dry electrode maternal abdominal ECG () to extract fetal heart rate () using a low-complexity algorith...
the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) is critical for monitoring fetal health, however, its extraction remains technically challenging due to strong interference from the maternal electrocardiogram (MECG) in abdominal electrocardiogram (AECG). Therefore...
Continuous fetal movement monitoring in late pregnancy may improve fetal wellbeing and pregnancy outcomes. While fetal movements can be visualized with ultrasound, it is intermittent and limited to clinical settings. Inertial measurement units may en...
The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the application of smart health is an effective method for distributed and intelligent automated diagnosis systems. Fetal movement is a basic index of fetal well being. IoT based fetal health classific...
The healthcare industry is transforming with the integration of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) with AI-powered networks for improved clinical connectivity and advanced monitoring capabilities. However, IoMT devices struggle with traditional ne...

Noninvasive fetal ECG (FECG) monitoring holds significant importance in ensuring the normal development of the fetus. Since FECG is usually submerged by maternal ECG (MECG) and background noise in abdominal ECG (AECG), it is challenging to exactly re...
Assessing fetal health traditionally involves techniques like echocardiography, which require skilled professionals and specialized equipment, making them unsuitable for low-resource settings. An emerging alternative is Phonocardiography (PCG), which...

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...
