A Novel Deep Learning Technique for Morphology Preserved Fetal ECG Extraction from Mother ECG using 1D-CycleGAN [PDF]
Monitoring the electrical pulse of fetal heart through a non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) can easily detect abnormalities in the developing heart to significantly reduce the infant mortality rate and post-natal complications. Due to the overlapping of maternal and fetal R-peaks, the low amplitude of the fECG, systematic and ambient noises ...

Unveiling the Unborn: Advancing Fetal Health Classification through Machine Learning [PDF]
Fetal health classification is a critical task in obstetrics, enabling early identification and management of potential health problems. However, it remains challenging due to data complexity and limited labeled samples. This research paper presents a novel machine-learning approach for fetal health classification, leveraging a LightGBM classifier ...

Fetal cardiovascular decompensation during labor predicted from the individual heart rate: a prospective study in fetal sheep near term and the impact of low sampling rate [PDF]
We present a novel computerized fetal heart rate intrapartum algorithm for early and individualized prediction of fetal cardiovascular decompensation, a key event in the causal chain leading to brain injury. This real-time machine learning algorithm performs well on noisy fetal heart rate data and requires ~2 hours to train on the individual fetal ...

Clifford wavelets for fetal ECG extraction [PDF]
Analysis of the fetal heart rate during pregnancy is essential for monitoring the proper development of the fetus. Current fetal heart monitoring techniques lack the accuracy in fetal heart rate monitoring and features acquisition, resulting in diagnostic medical issues. The challenge lies in the extraction of the fetal ECG from the mother's ECG during
