A comparison of abdominal ECG and Doppler ultrasound for fetal heart rate detection

A fetal monitor has been developed for the measurement of the fetal and maternal heart rates from maternal abdominal electrocardiogram during pregnancy and labor for ambulatory monitoring. Developed algorithm of the fetal monitor is based on digital filtering, adaptive thresholding. statistical prop...
