Timely detection of abnormal cardiotocography (CTG) during labor plays a crucial role in enhancing fetal prognosis. Recent research has explored the use of deep learning for CTG interpretation, most studies rely on small, localized datasets or focus ...
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...

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...
CTG (Cardiotocography) is an effective tool for fetal status assessment. Clinically, doctors mainly evaluate the health of fetus by observing FHR (fetal heart rate). The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has led realization of computer-aid...
