Abstract

Over the past 12 years a computerized fetal heart rate analysis system, for antenatal use, has been developed, improved, and recently made commerically available by Oxford Sonicaid. It should replace the non-stress and contraction stress tests because it is more reliable. It has not yet been tested systematically against the biophysical profile.
