In the paper, A prototype Fetal Heart Monitor, mini - size, was designed and produced for pre-mothers to measure the rate and rhythm of their features's heart at home.Pre-mothers could listen fetal heart rhythm through an inner bluetooth speaker ant the monitor. LED colors show the frequency of fetal heart rate variability on the monitor. All measured health information, by ultrasonic resonator and bluetooth speaker, is linked to a mother's smart phone. A test verified this simple measuring device helps users discover the symptoms of fetal health. Patients using at home devices usefully prevent sudden cardiac death and myocardial infraction by discovering symptoms.

This paper describes a ultrasonic signal processing front-end IC for distance range meter and body detector. The burst shaped ultrasonic signal is generated by a self oscillator and its frequency range is about 40[kHz]-300[kHz]. The generated ultrasonic signal transmit through piezo resonator. The another piezo device transduce from received ultrasonic signal to electrical signals. This front-end IC contained low noise amplifier, band pass filter, busrt detector and time pulse generator and so on. This IC has two type of new idea for improve function and performance, which are self frequency control (SFC) and Variable Gain Control amplifier (VGC) scheme. The dimensions and number of external parts are minimized in order to get a smaller hardware size. This device has been fabricated in a O.6[um] double poly, double metal 40[V] High Voltage CMOS process.
