Does the fetal short-term variability measure RMSSD reflect the fetal inflammatory status and can RMMSD be reliably recorded using a novel ultrasound fetal heart rate monitoring system

A certain number of newborn babies may suffer from infection. Many of such infections go

unnoticed but may have negative effects on child’s health. There is currently no satisfying

means to detect such babies early on. We have learned that using information contained in

fetal heart beats we might better predict if a yet unborn baby has an infection. This would

allow to intervene and prevent problems with baby’s health after birth. We would like to learn

more about how to acquire such information from fetal heart beats. We want to compare a

well established device to record fetal heart beats during labour to a new one that would

allow us to measure fetal heart beats in unborn babies. The partner organization would

benefit by being able to offer the new device for this new indication of monitoring fetal wellbeing,

a win-win situation for the patients and the company.
