Abstract: A technology for detecting fetal movement. In one example an electrocardiogram (ECG) dataset can be obtained where the ECG dataset contains fetal heart rate (FHR) values acquired from a pregnant subject, and the ECG dataset is for a segment of time during which an FHR is monitored using an ECG monitor. An FHR baseline can be calculated for the FHR values in the ECG dataset, and the ECG dataset can be analyzed to identify an accelerated FHR value that exceeds the FHR baseline that is followed in time in the ECG dataset by a decelerated FHR value that is less than or equal to the FHR baseline. Identifying the accelerated FHR value followed in time in the ECG dataset by the decelerated FHR value in the ECG dataset may indicate a fetal movement.
