INNOVATIVE FETAL MONITORING SYSTEM USING BIOIMPEDANCE TECHNIQUE OF DESIGN, VALIDATION, AND BENEFITS

This research introduces a unique fetal monitoring system grounded in the bioimpedance technique, also recognized as Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). The mechanism comprises a phantom, experimental setup, and information acquisition methods, designed to evaluate its capacity via phantom (mother)-based complete evaluations. To validate its effectiveness, a sequence of experiments are performed with the use of diverse phantoms geared up with 8, or 4 electrodes. By making use of EIT current patterns and measuring the ensuing voltage points, the device’s abilities have been assessed. The proposed EIT-based fetal monitoring system achieved accurate impedance measurements with voltage outputs ranging from 0.3 mV to 4.38 mV across various phantoms. EIT gives distinct advantages over traditional imaging modalities, allowing noninvasive monitoring and recording of dispensed electric-powered fields within a closed object. This revolutionary approach is characterized by its person-pleasant interface, affordability, and suitability for mass healthcare applications, making it available to underserved communities and primary healthcare workers.
