Abstract
Techniques for real-time doppler ultrasound signal processing techniques for fetal heart rate (FHR) detection with supervisory error control are provided. In an example, a method comprises receiving, by a system comprising a processor, signal data as the signal data is captured via an ultrasound transducer during a fetal monitoring session using doppler-based ultrasound technology. The method further comprises determining, by the system using a first process, first FHR values for a fetal heart targeted by the ultrasound transducer based on the signal data as the signal data is received, and determining using a second process in parallel with the first process, second FHR values for the fetal heart based on the signal data as the signal data is received. The method further comprises determining, by the system, whether the first FHR values are associated with an error based on differences between the first FHR values and the second FHR values.
