Summary
Lack of oxygen to a baby during childbirth (peripartum hypoxia) can result in brain damage, cerebral palsy, or even neonatal death, and cannot currently be accurately predicted with gold standard foetal monitoring techniques. In this project, novel foetal scalp electrodes will be developed, integrating amplitude-electroencephalography (aEEG) with microneedle-technologies for accurate brain function assessment and early intervention to reduce hypoxic brain injury.
