Popis: Objective: Beat-to-beat tele-fetal monitoring and comparison with clinical data are studied with a wavelet transformation approach. Tele-fetal monitoring is a big progress toward a wearable medical device for pregnant women capable of obtaining prenatal care at home. Study Design: We apply a wavelet transformation algorithm for fetal cardiac monitoring using a portable fetal Doppler medical device. After an investigation of 85 different mother wavelets, a bio-orthogonal 2.2 mother wavelet in level 4 of decomposition is chosen. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated using two data sets including public and clinical. Results: From publicly available data on PhysioBank, and simultaneous clinical measurement, we prove that the comparison between obtained fetal heart rate by the algorithm and the baselines yields a promising accuracy beyond 95%. Conclusion: Finally, we conclude that the proposed algorithm would be a robust technique for any similar tele-fetal monitoring approach.
