Although doppler ultrasound is now routinely applied to the detection of fetal heart rate (FHR) for the assessment of perinatal fetal well-being, it is unsuitable for long-term at-home monitoring due to its transmission of ultrasound beam directly to the fetal heart and the requirement of frequent r...
