Abstract/Summary

The Fetal Monitoring system mentioned in this paper is a device incorporating the functions of three devices into one. It is able to detect the heart rates of both the mother's and baby's and as well as the uterine contraction of the mother's womb. Once these data have been gathered, the device is then able to translate these data into quantified values. The Bluetooth module incorporated within the device is now responsible for handshaking the microcontroller, which is responsible for sending the data acquired, and a designated mobile phone. This mobile phone must be able to install java applications so that the java program made for the Fetal Monitoring system is applicable. The program will compare these received data to predetermined values and check if they are normal or not. In the event that an abnormality will occur upon any of these signals, the system will prompt a message on the user's mobile phone asking if the user would allow the application to send the message to the indicated receiver. The user may opt to set different time intervals in which messages will be sent to the receiver to receive constant updates on the patient's condition. If ever the abnormality triggered is already passed and the patient has already recovered to her normal state, the system will again prompt the user if it would be allowed to inform the recipient of the message that the alarm sent is already done and the current status of the patient.
