电子胎儿监护（EFM）在分娩和分娩期间被广泛使用，但现有的解决方案限制了患者的移动性，不舒服，并且不能始终如一地捕获胎儿心率（FHR）和子宫活动（UA）信号。开发了一种无线EFM系统，该系统具有可穿戴US和分娩力计设备，这些设备符合身体并且不需要电缆或皮带。实验室试验证明，该器械可以在临床有意义的范围和身体曲率内准确一致地测量模拟FHR和UA。可穿戴式EFM设备有望提供更可靠的信号捕获，而不受产妇移动和重新定位的影响，同时还能显著提高患者的舒适度和移动性。
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used widely during labor & delivery, but existing solutions limit patient mobility, are uncomfortable, and do not consistently capture fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine activity (UA) signals. A wireless EFM system was developed that features wearable US and tocodynamometer devices that conform to the body and do not require cables or belts. Benchtop testing demonstrated that the devices can accurately and consistently measure simulated FHRs and UAs over clinically meaningful ranges and body curvatures. The wearable EFM devices are expected to provide more reliable signal capture independent of maternal movement and repositioning, while also significantly improving patient comfort and mobility.
