• Abstract: Assessing the health of both the fetus and mother is vital in preventing and identifying possible complications in pregnancy. This paper focuses on a device that can be used effectively by the mother herself with minimal supervision and provide a reasonable estimation of fetal and maternal health while being safe, comfortable, and easy to use. The device proposed uses a belt with a single accelerometer over the mother's uterus to record the required information. The device is expected to monitor both the mother and the fetus constantly over a long period and provide medical professionals with useful information, which they would otherwise overlook due to the low frequency that health monitoring is carried out at the present. The paper shows that simultaneous measurement of respiratory information of the mother and fetal movement is in fact possible even in the presence of mild interferences, which needs to be accounted for if the device is expected to be worn for extended times.

  Mobile Health (mHealth) is the ability to use wearable sensors to monitor participant physiology at high frequencies during daily life to enable temporally-precise health interventions. Despite a rich imputation literature, existing techniques are ineffective for the pulsative signals which comprise many mHealth applications. We address this gap with PulseImpute, the first large-scale pulsative signal imputation challenge which includes realistic mHealth missingness models, an extensive set of baselines, and clinically-relevant downstream tasks.
