Computer science researchers at the University of Washington are testing a phone app to determine if it can accurately ...

University of Washington researchers built a smartphone app that tracks fetal heart rate as accurately as clinic tools using only the phone's speaker and mic, though it's not ready for release yet.

Pregnant women often worry about their babies’ health in between doctor’s visits, but a new mobile app can help put them at ...

A normal heart rate for a fetus can range from 110 to 160 beats per minute (BPM). Very early in pregnancy, it is typically around 110 BPM. Fetal heart rate may speed up to 140 to 170 BPM around the ...

Researchers have used mathematical analysis tools to study the effect of classical music on a fetal heartbeat and identify patterns in heart rate variability. They recruited 36 pregnant women and ...
