Researchers have developed a novel method for detecting prenatal stress using self-supervised deep learning on electrocardiography (ECG) data. The system, trained on the FELICITy 1 cohort, demonstrated high accuracy in classifying stress levels from maternal, fetal, and abdominal ECG signals. External validation on the FELICITy 2 cohort showed promising results, with signal quality-based channel selection proving more effective than averaging. AI
