Abstract

Cardiotocography (CTG) is widely used for antenatal monitoring and assessment of fetal well-being. CTG measurement methods based on the phonocardiographic principle and a home-monitoring system utilizing low-cost devices for data acquisition have been proposed and implemented by our research group. Assessment and storage of the recordings are carried out in medical centers, and their calculation capacity is no longer enough to evaluate the ever-increasing amount of incoming data on the constantly growing number of different assessment methods. The present work proposes a new method to create an easily scalable environment based on a P2P principle to share the workload and data between medical centers, while also representing a framework for discovering new correlations between evaluation method results and symptoms of fetal diseases.
