Monitoring the fetal heart rate (FHR) is common practice in obstetric care to assess the risk of fetal compromise. Unfortunately, human interpretation of FHR recordings is subject to inter-observer variability with high false positive rates. To impro...
Independent component analysis (ICA) is widely used in the extraction of fetal ECG (FECG). However, the amplitude, order, and positive or negative values of the ICA results are uncertain. The main objective is to present a novel approach to FECG reco...

BACKGROUND: Electronic fetal monitoring is used in most US hospital births but has significant limitations in achieving its intended goal of preventing intrapartum hypoxic-ischemic injury. Novel deep learning techniques can improve complex data proce...
The fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) records changes in the graph of fetal cardiac action potential during conduction, reflecting the developmental status of the fetus in utero and its physiological cardiac activity. Morphological alterations in the FE...
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...

Fetal movement is a commonly monitored indicator of fetal wellbeing with reductions in fetal movement being associated with poor perinatal outcomes. However, more informative datasets of fetal movement are required for improved clinical decision maki...
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop a multimodal deep learning-based algorithm for detecting specific fetal heart rate (FHR) events, to enhance automatic monitoring and intelligent assessment of fetal well-being.

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...

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...
