Abstract: A system and method of documentation and categorization of medical obstetrics data, such as fetal heart rate characteristics. The automatic categorization of fetal heart rate characteristics into three categories, Category I—strongly predictive of normal fetal acid-base balance, Category II—not predictive of abnormal fetal acid-base balance and Category III—predictive of abnormal fetal acid-base balance.

Abstract: Electronic fetal monitoring assessment tools and methods of use thereof. The electronic fetal monitoring assessment tools are useable in connection with Electronic Fetal Monitoring (“EFM”) systems, such as those EFM systems currently used by and available to medical professionals. Electronic fetal monitoring assessment tools may include an electronic measurement tool for one or more of assessing the baseline FHR, assessing variability of the baseline FHR, assessing decelerations in the FHR and/or assessing acceleration in the FHR. Electronic measurement tools may be used as electronically generated visual tools to assess one or more fetal heart rate patterns.
