Development of a Simulation Model of Fetal Activity Signal Source

Abstract

The development of passive systems for long-term monitoring of fetal activity is one of the leading tasks of modern perinatal diagnosis. Fetal activity is one of the markers of the fetal condition, by which changes in its wellbeing can be quickly determined. The introduction of a passive system of long-term monitoring into medical practice will allow medical professionals to constantly monitor the condition of the fetus, which will allow timely recognition of the development of a pathological condition. The development of such system requires careful selection of sensors, testing and debugging of the new system. In addition, the susceptibility of the fetal activity signal to the influence of numerous noises requires the development of signal processing algorithms that could be used to process large amounts of data in a short time. To solve these problems, we proposed a simulation model of the fetal activity signal source.
