Deep learning models detect prenatal stress from ECG signals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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

IMPACT Introduces a new objective method for assessing prenatal stress, potentially improving monitoring and intervention strategies in obstetrics.

    Prenatal Stress Detection from Electrocardiography Using Self-Supervised Deep Learning: Development and External Validation

    arXiv:2602.03886v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prenatal psychological stress affects 15-25% of pregnancies and increases risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Current screening relies on subjective questionnaires (PSS-10), l…
