The fact that every 90 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth is simply unacceptable. What is even more shocking is that most of these deaths are preventable if appropriate care is available. The death of a mother is not only the end of a life; instead, it is most often the beginning of a dark and difficult future for the whole family and the aftershocks affect the community at large. Children, particularly in developing countries, who lose their mothers early on are less likely to be productive members of society, are likely to be malnourished, and face lifelong social and economic challenges. India loses 2.5 times more women in rural areas or from lowest economic bracket, in the name of maternal mortality. Most childbirth complications require appropriate devices and a high degree of medical expertise by the overlooking specialist, midwife etc. For the purpose of detecting the birthing child, the most significant statistics are the fetal heart rate and intra-uterine pressure during the delivery. The acceptable fetal heart rate (FHR) ranges from 120 – 160 beats per minute (bpm)[4] and the normal intra-uterine pressure (IUP) during contractions is around 40 mmHg. The system measures these parameter and if it is not in range an alert is set off. The proposed system has been designed keeping in mind the high fetal mortality rates in rural, underdeveloped or remote areas.
