Effective monitoring of fetal heart activity during the second and third trimesters remains a vital challenge in perinatal medicine. This study proposes an adaptive algorithm for extracting the fetal electrocardiograms signal from abdominal ECG in pregnant women, considering the physiological characteristics of each trimester. Utilizing modern machine learning methods, independent component analysis, and data from wearable textile electrodes. The goal is to enhance the accuracy and reliability of automatic signal separation. A dataset of 300 recordings will be collected and analyzed. The resulting algorithm will enable rapid and precise detection of fetal heartbeats. To validate the algorithm, 50 patients will be recruited separately.
