Developing new methods to diagnose fetal distress during labor is crucial. This study introduces an automated system to collect vital fetal ECG data from multiple deliveries simultaneously, aiding research without increasing staff workload.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Fetal Monitoring

Background:

  • Increased interest in advanced fetal distress diagnosis during labor.
  • Current techniques rely on fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) data from scalp electrodes.
  • Challenges exist in collecting sufficient patient data for system development due to poor predictive accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test prototypes for improved fetal distress diagnosis.
  • To address the need for comprehensive recorded patient data.
  • To create a system that automates data collection without increasing clinical staff workload.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an automated data collection system.
  • Simultaneous data acquisition from up to four patient deliveries.
