Indian scientists create listing device for embryo, an MP3 player per se
Monitoring an unborn child’s growth and vitals gets really stiff. Addressing the issue and with a motive to simplify things for better fetal care, scientists from the of Engineering & Technology in Gondia, India, have devised a system which like a digital audio player of sorts, alerts about the unborn and also monitors its heart-rate.
The device comprises two small acoustic sensors hocked to an internet connected PC. One of the microphone attached sensor is embedded to the pregnant mother’s womb and the other is attached further up in the womb, while the former keeps tap on the baby’s heartbeat the latter picks up the ambient and bodily noise. The noise subtracted sound (with help of software) is then converted into WAV or MP3 file, depending on the requirement of the analysis.
The team of scientist have tested the device on different ladies in different stages of pregnancy, and have been found the results helpful, without any trouble to the mother or the child.
