Comprehensive fetal monitoring by microcomputer--a clinical approach.

An inexpensive microcomputer has been devised to analyze fetal heart signals and fetal activity which were simultaneously recorded. Digital techniques were used to provide quantitative analysis of each of these inputs, and the interrelations among them. A parallel graphical presentation of those inputs was also provided.
