The invasive method of fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) monitoring is widely used with electrodes directly attached to the fetal scalp. There are potential risks such as infection and, thus, it is usually carried out during labor in rare cases. Recent ...
OBJECTIVE: Non-invasive fetal electrocardiography has the potential to provide vital information for evaluating the health status of the fetus. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) impedes the applicability of t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a fetal condition defined as the abnormal rate of fetal growth. The pathology is a documented cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. In clinical practice, diagnosis is...
This paper presents two new concepts for discrimination of signals of different complexity. The first focused initially on solving the problem of setting entropy descriptors by varying the pattern size instead of the tolerance. This led to the search...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to implement a remote fetal surveillance unit with increased vigilance and timelier responses to electronic fetal monitor tracings to improve neonatal outcomes and increase safety.
Reduced fetal movement (RFM) can indicate that a fetus is at risk, but current monitoring methods provide only a "snapshot in time" of fetal health and require trained clinicians in clinical settings. To improve antenatal care, there is a need for co...

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...

BACKGROUND: Cardiotocography is a common method of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal well-being. Data-driven analyses have shown potential for automated EFM assessment. For this preliminary study, we used a novel artificial intelligence met...
