Design and Implementation of a Wireless Monitoring Application for Pregnant Women's Fetal Movement
The fetal movement signal represents the most intuitive indicator of the health of the fetus and the mother. In order to effectively monitor the health status of the fetus and the pregnant woman in the third trimester, an application was designed based on the Android operating system for real-time monitoring of fetal movement in pregnant women. Using Android Studio as the development platform, the SQLite database was utilized to facilitate user registration and login. The low-power Bluetooth API is utilized to establish the connection between the mobile terminal and the wireless fetal movement monitor for pregnant women, enabling the collection of raw fetal movement data. Real-time transmission of data to the smartphone via low-power Bluetooth is achieved, followed by the processing and recognition of fetal movement signals on the app, culminating in the visualization of the recognition results. Through rigorous testing and application, the system facilitates the visualization of fetal health data, addressing family concerns about the health of pregnant women and fetuses, and is applicable in the field of fetal health monitoring.
