Abstract
System and screening method for determining characteristics of placenta and fetus in pregnant woman by using system identification techniques to determine whether a fetus is at immediate risk or should enter a high risk pregnancy follow-up. In particular, a system which is a combination of non invasive detectors for the acquisition of physiological signals, a procedure for synchronizing the acquired maternal and fetal signals, and algorithms developed for system identification of biological open-loop systems are employed. The maternal-fetal system has a purely causal relationship between input and output, connected by the placenta. Hence, the identification and modeling of the system reflect the interconnection relations.
