Continuous, non-invasive pregnancy monitoring is crucial for minimising potential complications. The fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) represents a promising tool for assessing fetal health beyond clinical environments. Home-based monitoring…
The electromyogram (EMG) is an important tool for assessing the activity of a muscle and thus also a valuable measure for the diagnosis and control of respiratory support. In this article we propose convolutive blind source separation (BSS)…
Non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) is used to monitor the electrical pulse of the fetal heart. Decomposing the FECG signal from maternal ECG (MECG) is a blind source separation problem, which is hard due to the low amplitude of…
