Past

Wearables during pregnancy: what do pregnant women think about this technology? We asked a representative sample of U.S. population (prior to COVID-19 pandemic!) and were pleased to discover the overwhelming interest in such technology. See this article for details and its news coverage.

Our team's editorial on the very successful research topic in Frontiers Pediatrics - Neonatalogy on A.I. in perinatal health monitoring. It appeared shortly after the last SPaM meeting that took place in Munich, Germany, in July 2022.

SPaM happened again! This time, we convened for our 4th meeting in Munich, Germany, 7-9 July, 2022. It was a blast!

More to follow on that.

Early life programming of neurodegenerative diseases and novel strategies to reduce the risk

Exposure of fetuses to Zika virus can be detected ~two years later in asymptomatic toddlers using a regular electrocardiogram (ECG) with specific heart rate variability (HRV) metrics thought to reflect the effects of chronic hypoxia on pacemaker cells of the heart.

PLoS One Digital Health is welcoming submissions!

I am honored to serve as its section editor for "Machine learning for clinical decision support" and "Wearables".

Improve fetal heart monitoring, NHS report says

Excerpt from the NHS resolution report that gives food for thought:

"It [the report] found problems with checking fetal heart rates during labour was a factor in 70% of cases and delays in giving birth in 60%."

From intrinsic heart rate variability as biomarker of chronic fetal hypoxia to ubiquitous pregnancy monitors: just a dream or are we getting somewhere?
