Abstract

Digital FHR monitoring system based on the personal computer combined wi th the digital signal processing (DSP) board was implemented. The DSP board acquires and digitally processes ultrasound fetal Doppler signal for digital rectification, envelope detection, autocorrealtion function calculation and its peak position detection. The personal computer interfaced with the DSP board is in charge of graphic display, hardcopy, data taransmission and on-line analysis of fetal heart rate change including on-line warning system, base-line estmation, acceleration, deceleration and variability. The advantages of PC-DSP based system can be summarized as follows: 1) Minimum hardware realization. 2) Increased flexibility. 3) Total care system.
