An electrode sheet is flexibly adapted to the position where a signal is acquired. The electrode sheet is attached to a living body and acquires a biological signal, and is provided with a sheet-form biological signal acquisition unit, which is attached to a living body part where a biological signal is acquired. A reference potential acquisition unit extends from the living body signal acquisition unit and is attached to a living body part where a reference potential is acquired. The reference potential acquisition unit is provided with multiple electrodes, which are arranged at a prescribed interval along the direction of extension. Each of the electrodes can attach to the living body part where the reference potential is acquired.

A fetal scalp monitor is disclosed that enables a medical professional to monitor the well-being of a fetus in utero. The fetal scalp monitor has a main body, with a central core having a temperature sensor, conductive dome, grounding ring, and tocodynamometer. The main body also has at least one adhesive portion to facilitate the attachment of the device onto the scalp of a fetus, and a plurality of concentric rings to militate against amniotic fluids from entering the adhesive portion. The vital signs of the infant and conditions inside the uterus are then transmitted, either wired or wirelessly, to a fetus monitoring device.

A method and a system for measuring various physical parameters of a subject by a user using a wearable diagnostic device which comprises of an apparel with a modular sensor matrix disposed in it. The modular sensor matrix is configured to enable a user to measure physical parameters of the subject. The apparel also has display visual display unit disposed on it, which is configured to exhibit measured physical parameters of the subject.

A decision support tool is provided for predicting the neonatal vitality scores of a fetus during delivery, the scores being an indicator of future health for the infant anticipated to be born within a future time interval, measured as time to birth. The predicted neonatal vitality score is determined from measurements of physiological variables monitored during labor, such as uterine activity and fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate variability and patterns may be detected and computed using the monitored physiological variables, and neonatal vitality scores may be predicted based, at least in part, on the variability metrics and fetal heart rate patterns. Scores may be predicted for different delivery methods, such as vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery, for different time-to-birth intervals. In this way, these scores may be used for decision support for care plans during labor, such as increased monitoring and/or modifying the delivery type.

Communication of parent physiological data to an infant may include a first interface device which includes a sensor to record physiological data associated with a heartbeat of a parent, a processor to receive the physiological data from the sensor, and a transceiver; a server which receives the physiological data from the transceiver, accesses an instance of the physiological data from a replay storage location during a loss of communication, assigns a unique identifier, processes the physiological data, modifies the physiological data to be within an allowable threshold or accesses physiological data within the allowable threshold when the physiological data is outside an allowable threshold, filters the physiological data to apply an effect, and transmits the physiological data based on the unique identifier; and a second interface device which includes a transceiver to receive the physiological data and a communication element to communicate the physiological data to the infant.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, systems, and computer storage media for detecting sepsis in a maternal patient and causing for display a visual indicator of a graphical object. In some aspects sepsis may be detected based on a maternal patient's patient information and/or clinical diagnostic. Technologies described herein may be used to determine maternal-fetal sepsis and provide a graphical object of a patient's risk of the maternal-fetal sepsis. The visual indicator and graphical object may be identifiable to a clinician as a warning of a risk for maternal-fetal sepsis. In this way, maternal-fetal sepsis may be identified and a graphical object may be generated, facilitating timely treatment and early diagnosis of maternal-fetal sepsis.

In various embodiments of the invention, a manipulator attaches to and allows a sheath to be positioned inside the cervix and a catheter to thereby be inserted through the sheath and be positioned in a desired location in the uterus. In various embodiments of the invention, the manipulator may be attached or permanently connected to the sheath. In various embodiments of the invention, the sheath is fenestrated to allow the catheter to be detached from the sheath. In various embodiments of the invention, the manipulator allows the sheath to be positioned through the cervix canal to allow for catheter transmitted intrauterine pressure monitoring or balloon catheter assisted ripening of the cervix.

A system, computer program product and method for facilitating concurrent monitoring of multiple obstetrics patients over a data network are proposed. Data conveying pregnancy progression information, including maternal and fetal vital sign information associated with the obstetrics patients, is received and processed to derive criticality levels for the obstetrics patients. As a first feature, notification data related to a particular obstetrics patient may be selectively transmitted to a medical expert based on different conditions including for example an associated criticality level exceeding a threshold and/or receipt of a consultation request. As a second feature, used together or separately from the first, a graphical user interface (GUI) may present a user with an ordered list of obstetrics patients dynamically adaptable based on the criticality levels. The GUI allows a user to select an obstetrics patient from the list and then adapts the GUI to present an expanded set of pregnancy progression information related to the selected obstetrics patient. Optionally, the GUI may also provide a tool allowing the user to cause a notification to be transmitted to a medical expert over the data network.

Aspects of the technology described herein related to monitoring fetal heartbeat and uterine contraction signals. An ultrasound system may be configured to sweep a volume to collect ultrasound data, detect a fetal heartbeat and/or uterine contraction signal in the ultrasound data, and automatically steer an ultrasound beam to monitor the fetal heartbeat and/or uterine contraction signal. The ultrasound system may be further configured to determine a location where the fetal heartbeat and/or uterine contraction signal is detectable or detectable at a highest quality. The ultrasound system may include a wearable ultrasound device, such as an ultrasound patch coupled to a subject. The wearable ultrasound device may have a two-dimensional array of ultrasonic transducers capable of steering ultrasound beams in three dimensions.

The present patent refers to improvements introduced in electromedical equipment, applied to automated triage of newborn babies with purpose to detect possible congenital heart defects by means of little heart test, through dedicated software (DS) implanted in memory (1-G), georeference block (1-M), pendrive (3), external HD (4), energy and supply assembly (E) provided with DC02215V J4 connector, cable and power supply, plug (P) positioned at the rear panel of the apparatus (1), internal and external connections (C) with magnets arranged into two rows at the rear part of the apparatus (1), of C-shape metallic base (2) with two front flanges (2-A), aiming to increase the number of users, increase flexibility of test protocol and change the usability in order to minimize errors, bringing advantages of higher testing speed, improved interface with user, better measurement quality, lower cost, higher usage versatility, and lighter weight and smaller size of equipment.
