简要总结
This study is a planned research project to test and demonstrate the feasibility of using the Femom device for monitoring fetal heart rate remotely.
The main goal is to learn if the remote recordings using Femom provide reliable information about the baby's heart rate. We will also establish reference standards of heart rate variability in uncomplicated pregnancies at different stages of pregnancy. Additionally, we will compare the heart rate variability in FGR and diabetic pregnancies to normal pregnancies.
详细描述
The Femom device is a non-invasive fetal ECG (NIFECG) device which has been developed for self application and remote monitoring. Women from three different cohort groups (controls, FGR and insulin dependent diabetes) will be approached and asked to monitor their baby at home once a day. Women in the control group will be asked to do this once a day for one week, the FGR pregnancies until delivery and the insulin dependent diabetics just from 36 weeks until delivery.
The data will be collected and analysed retrospectively to assess compliance of the participants with the study protocol, signal quality and establish reference standards in relation to gestation within the control group. Heart rate variability measures in the FGR and diabetes arm will be compared to the reference standards in the control group. Outcomes of the pregnancy.
Feedback regarding the usability of the device will also be collected using a feedback questionnaire to assess the feasibility of home antenatal monitoring.
