Maternal and fetal care during labor is of utmost importance, lack of which is the major cause of neonatal and maternal mortality. Partograph is a graphical record of important data measured during labor. The main parameters that are to be recorded in the partograph are many. But the ones that can be electronically measured and recorded are the number and duration of uterine contractions, fetal heart rate, maternal pulse rate and body temperature of the mother. This project involves the design of a wearable device which can continuously monitor these parameters, display them continuously and alarm in the case of any abnormalities.
