Abstract
Methods for monitoring a fetus employ a mobile computing device. A method of monitoring a fetus includes generating a first preprocessed acoustic signal via amplification of a first acoustic signal. The first preprocessed acoustic signal is processed by a mobile computing device to extract one or more of a fetal heart sound, a fetal heartbeat rate, or a fetal heartbeat acoustic intensity.
Claims16
A method of monitoring a fetus, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a signal processing assembly, a first acoustic signal from a first acoustic transducer coupled with a pregnant patient in proximity to an abdominal region of the pregnant patient at a first acoustic transducer position;
- generating, by the signal processing assembly, a first preprocessed acoustic signal via amplification of the first acoustic signal;
- storing, by the signal processing assembly, the first preprocessed acoustic signal;
- receiving instructions, by the signal conditioning assembly from a mobile computing device, that cause the signal processing assembly to output the first preprocessed acoustic signal to the mobile computing device for processing;
- processing, by the mobile computing device, the first preprocessed acoustic signal to extract one or more of a fetal heart sound, a fetal heartbeat rate, or a fetal heartbeat acoustic intensity;
- and
- outputting, by the mobile computing device, one or more of the fetal heart sound, the fetal heartbeat rate, or the fetal heartbeat acoustic intensity.
