Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of obstetric fetal heart rate monitoring technology, and in particular to an intelligent method and system for obstetric fetal heart rate monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of technology, obstetric monitoring techniques have continued to develop, and fetal heart rate monitoring has become a key means of assessing fetal health. Fetal heart rate monitoring can monitor the fetal heart rate and cardiac frequency in real time, helping doctors to promptly detect and address various abnormal conditions of the fetus in utero. Modern fetal heart rate monitoring devices are mostly wearable devices that transmit the collected fetal heart signals to a data processing terminal via wireless communication technology, making it convenient for doctors and pregnant women to view the fetus's health status in real time. However, a single fetal heart rate monitoring signal is often insufficient to fully reflect the fetus's health status and needs to be combined with the pregnant woman's physiological state and external environmental signals for comprehensive analysis.
[0003] Existing fetal heart rate monitoring systems have several shortcomings in practical applications. First, noise and interference significantly affect fetal heart rate signals, and current technologies have limitations in noise removal and signal enhancement, resulting in insufficient clarity and accuracy of monitoring data. Second, existing systems typically lack dynamic adjustments to the individual physiological state of pregnant women, failing to compensate for signal deviations caused by physiological fluctuations and affecting the reliability of monitoring results. Furthermore, their ability to fuse and analyze multimodal signals is limited, failing to fully utilize maternal physiological signals and environmental signals to improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of abnormal pattern detection, leading to poor prediction and early warning effects on fetal health status and hindering comprehensive and accurate health monitoring.
