- a sensor device and a method for using the sensor device The present invention relates to a sensor device and a method for using the sensor device for detecting sounds from the human body, such as a fetal heart beat.
- the health of a person may be assessed by detecting or listening to the internal sounds of the human body, which is known as auscultation. Auscultation is performed for the purpose of examining the circulatory system, the respiratory system, as well as the gastrointestinal system. Listening to sounds from the human body is used for diagnostic purposes as well as for monitoring health of a person. Typically, listening to sounds from the human body is done by a

- Continuous monitoring systems are essential for measuring blood-pressure levels, heart rate, fetal heart rate and so on.
- Currently available systems for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring are Doppler-ultrasound based. These systems include a sensor device that sends an ultra-sound signal to a part in the human body and detects the reflected sound signal from the human body to assess health of the fetus. This type of sensor device is also known as a transceiver.

- the elastic wall of the hollow enclosure enables the hollow enclosure to contract and attach securely to the human body when it is pushed onto the human body thereby making the sensor device cost-effective.
- the elastic wall of the hollow enclosure is elastic around the circumferential opening. This enables the hollow enclosure to adapt to the shape of the human body providing enhanced sealing.
