SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REMOTE FETAL AND MATERNAL HEALTH MONITORING
First Claim
1. A fetal and maternal monitoring system, the system comprising:
- one or more sensing devices in contact with a user for detecting signals;
a central control device in wired communication with the one or more sensing devices, wherein the central control device is configured to provide power to the one or more sensing devices, and wherein the central control device is configured to receive and process the detected signals into signal data; and
a gateway device in wireless communication with the central control device to receive the signal data and display it to a user on a display.

Abstract
A fetal and maternal monitoring system is provided, including one or more sensing devices, a central control device which receives signals from, and provides power to, the sensing devices, and a gateway device in wireless communication with the central control device for visualization of data received from the central control device and transmission of the received data to a remote location over a network. The one or more sensing devices may include a fetal heart rate monitor (FHR), a strain gauge tocodynamometer (TOCO), maternal heart rate monitor (MHR), blood pressure monitor or other wearable health or fitness sensing device which require only a basic sensor and rely upon the central control device for processing and power. Lighting elements on the sensing devices provide indications of signal detection and strength. The gateway device will also provide instructions to a user for performing tests and virtual physician visits.
