The advanced technology integrated into fetal monitors comes at a heavy price. Sophisticated monitoring techniques such as Doppler ultrasound machines also incur hefty charges. The probes used in the Doppler technology (for example, the Philips Doppler transducer) range from USD 4,500 to USD 17,000. The SonoScape system from GE Healthcare costs around USD 9,000.  

 

The fetal monitoring is expanding with the latest innovative technologies, backed by escalating research and product launches. Fetal monitoring technologies are now being streamlined to provide greater assistance in utero fetal surgeries, consisting of challenging physical fetal access and technological complications. 

 

Computer-Aided Decision Support Systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are also utilized in continuous cardiotocography (CTG) or fetal heart rate (FHR) auscultation during labor. The patient’s electronic health records (EHRs) are utilized along with computational methods, machine learning, and deep learning tools.
