Key result
Optimized fetal phonocardiograph demonstrates successful acoustic performance at 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Why the study?
Comparative analysis of elementary parts of fetal phonocardiograph using time-frequency analysis was needed to determine optimal configuration.
This study demonstrates the design and initial testing of an optimized fetal phonocardiograph using synthetic data, a phantom, and a single human subject.
Single-subject success is hypothesis-generating; larger studies needed before clinical consideration.
This paper deals with comparative analysis of elementary parts of fetal phonocardiograph by means of time-frequency analysis of fetal phonocardiogram (fPCG) signal. Elementary parts of fetal phonocardiograph are tested, analyzed and subsequently evaluated using synthetic data and a phantom of the pregnant woman abdomen. Based on these results, the optimal configuration of fetal phonocardiograph was designed and tested on a pregnant woman at 34th weeks of pregnancy.

Kahánková et al. (2019) studied Pregnancy (n=1). Fetal phonocardiograph was evaluated on Acoustical performance of fetal phonocardiograph. An optimized fetal phonocardiograph, designed based on synthetic and phantom data, was successfully tested on a pregnant woman at 34 weeks of pregnancy.
