Real-time signal processing for fetal heart rate monitoring

Real-time signal processing for fetal heart rate monitoring

An algorithm based on digital filtering, adaptive thresholding, statistical properties in the time domain, and differencing of local maxima and minima has been developed for the simultaneous measurement of the fetal and maternal heart rates from the maternal abdominal electrocardiogram during pre...
