APPARATUSES FOR TRACKING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF MOTHER AND FETUS DURING PREGNANCY

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by at least one computer processor, electrocardiogram (ECG) signals data from at least one pair of ECG sensors positioned on an abdomen of a woman carrying a fetus;

filtering, by the at least one computer processor, the ECG signals data to form filtered ECG signals data;

detecting, by the at least one computer processor, maternal heart peaks in the filtered ECG signals data, the maternal heart peaks forming a maternal ECG signal;

subtracting, from the filtered ECG signals data, by the at least one computer processor, the maternal ECG signal by using a non-linear subtraction procedure to form corrected ECG signals data;

extracting, by the at least one computer processor, raw fetal ECG signals data from the filtered N-ECG signals data from the corrected ECG signals data;

processing, by the at least one computer processor, the raw fetal ECG signals data to improve a signal-to-noise ratio of the raw fetal ECG signals data to form filtered fetal ECG signals data;

detecting, by the at least one computer processor, fetal heart peaks in the filtered fetal ECG signals data;

calculating, by the at least one computer processor, based on the detected fetal heart peaks, at least one of:

i) a fetal heart rate,

ii) a fetal heart curve,

iii) a beat-2-beat fetal heart rate, or,

iv) fetal heart rate variability; and

outputting, by the at least one computer processor, a result of the calculating step.
