First Claim
Patent Images
1. A monitoring system, comprising:
- a physiologic monitoring device with an accelerometer that senses fetal movements of a fetus in the womb of a human or animal mother and generates signals indicative thereof;
a signal identifier that identifies signals from the generated signals that correspond to a predetermined fetal movement; and
a counter that counts the identified signal.

21. A method, comprising:
-
sensing a fetal movement of a fetus within the womb of a human or animal patient; generating a signal indicative of the sensed fetal movement; determining whether the signal corresponds to a fetal kick; and counting the signal in response to determining the signal corresponds to a fetal kick. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36)
