Abstract
The present invention relates to a pregnancy monitoring system () and to a method for detecting medical condition information from a pregnant subject of interest (). The system () comprises a fetal monitoring transducer () that detects fetal medical condition information, a first motion sensor unit () associated with the fetal monitoring transducer (), the first motion sensor unit () comprising at least one first motion sensor (), a second motion sensor unit () comprising at least one second motion sensor (), and a control device () comprising an evaluation unit () that determines relative motion between the first motion sensor unit () and the second motion sensor unit (), wherein the control device () selectively permits, in an enablement mode, processing of the detected fetal medical condition information when a level of relative motion between the first motion sensor unit () and the second motion sensor unit () indicates stable measurement conditions, and wherein the control device () selectively prevents, in a suppression mode, processing of the detected fetal medical condition information when the level of relative motion between the first motion sensor unit () and the second motion sensor unit () indicates unstable measurement conditions.
