Abstract Background: The fetal health is possible to fluctuate and deteriorate and lead to unexpected loss of the pregnancy. Time is crucial for heart life and any decrease in oxygen to the heart muscle is crucial and means death. Therefore, it is substantial to do an obstetric tracing, in order to spot the sudden changes in the fetus health. Problem Statement: Away from all the methods that could measure heart health, fetus movements monitoring is one way to identify the fetal wellbeing. One very popular movement that is used to gauge fetal health is a fetal kick, in which a frequency of perceived and/or registered fetal kicks by a healthy fetus is higher as compared to the frequency of perceived and/or registered fetal kicks a by an unhealthy fetus. However, the conventional methods such as ultrasound and manual measurement endure some errors. Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a portable belt that can be used to measure the fetal movement accurately by setting the appropriate threshold. Methods: A total of 9 Force Sensitive Resistors (FSR) were used to detect a simulated force exerted by fetus on the abdomen of pregnant women in order to count the fetal movements. Finding: Based on the overall result the sensor detects 90% of the kicks given. Conclusion: We believe that this device could help the pregnant women to measure the fetal movement with less attention and can reduce the error. *Author for correspondence Indian Journal of Science and Technology, Vol 9(13), DOI: 10.17485/ijst/2016/v9i13/81208, April 2016 ISSN (Print) : 0974-6846 ISSN (Online) : 0974-5645 Fetal Kicking Monitoring Device for Intrauterine Death Prevention Rania Hussien Al-Ashwal 1 *, Syed Mohd Nooh 1 , Ali Aourdjini 2 , Zameera Ibrahim 1 , Hisyam Abdulrahman 3 , Nadwa Aziz 1 and J.

Introduction Monitoring fetal movements is not just about counting the kicks. It’s about getting to know the typical pattern of the fetal movements so the awareness of any changes can be monitored as quickly as possible if something’s not right. It is very important to identify prompt changes in the fetus health by “monitoring the fetus movements and the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR)” 1 . Fetal movement counting is one of the methods to assess the condition of the baby and to obtain an obstetric tracing. Detecting the risk of fetal heart hypoxia early could lead to alerting practitio- ners for fast response and baby lifesaving. Evidence shows that clinicians consider fetal movement counting a good method as it allows the clinician to make appropriate interventions in good time 2 . here are two main catego- ries of kick counting method exists either using ixed time or ixed number approach 3 . Technology is promising a lot in diagnosis: Ultrasound imaging was used to determine type, volume of the move- ment, FHR and the uterus contractions in the clinical setting. Sensors are devices that detect measure and Keywords: Fetal Health and Technology, Kicks, Monitoring, Sensor
