An algorithm for the ambulatory monitoring of fetal heart rate

A real-time algorithm has been developed for the simultaneous measurement of the fetal and maternal heart rates from the abdominal signal, which was sampled with 13-bit resolution at 500 Hz. The algorithm is based on digital filtering, adaptive thresholding, differencing of local maxima and minima a...
