Abstract
This study presents the implementation of a low-cost automated prototype, in an open code platform, that simulates the maternal-fetal signal using the Arduino platform. Several options exist for providing a basic evaluation of the maternal-fetal monitors, but the need to simulate the medical environment with a man-machine interface is needed in this age of simulation-based medicine.
Another possible application of this simulator is as a teaching tool. Using data generated by the simulator the man-machine interface can measure fetal movement, uterine activity, and fetal heart rate. The data from the interface can then be compared with those presented by the fetal monitor. This comparison makes it possible to check the correct functioning of the equipment tested.
