Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for measuring a heartbeat of a fetus in a pregnant subject. A motion-related parameter of the pregnant subject is sensed without contacting or viewing the subject or clothes the subject is wearing. The fetal heartbeat is derived from the motion-related parameter, and an output is generated in response thereto. Other applications are also described.
