A paper entitled “Multi-modal detection of fetal movements using a wearable monitor” led by Dr Abhishek Ghosh (a former PhD student at Imperial College London, jointly supervised by Prof Nowlan) has been published in Information Fusion.
In the paper, we describe how a prototype wearable fetal movement monitor with multiple different types of vibration sensor was capable of detecting an impressive 82% of maternally sensed fetal movements with an overall accuracy of 90%. The excellent performance of the device was enabled in part by machine learning methods applied to the signals from the different sensors. For more details, please see the open-access paper here.
Congratulations to Abhishek and to all co-authors! Abhishek and Prof Nowlan continue to collaborate through their Wellcome Leap funded project to develop a wearable fetal movement monitor.
