Detection of Preventable Fetal Distress During Labor From Scanned Cardiotocogram Tracings Using Deep Learning

Despite broad application during labor and delivery, there remains considerable debate about the value of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). EFM includes the surveillance of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns in conjunction with the mother's uterine contractions, providing a wealth of data about f...
