Abstract:
Conventional analysis of fetal behaviour is laborious and time-consuming. For it to have a role in a clinical setting, practical and more objective methods are necessary. We describe a computerised fetal behavioural analysis programme. Fetal behaviour (in the form of heart rate and movement) was recorded using a conventional Doppler ultrasound transducer. Data are presented comparing the method with conventional forms of behavioural analysis and documenting its limitations.
