Premature delivery and fetal brain damage are very serious issues in the world including Australia and Japan.
Our aim is to establish a next generation fetal monitoring system though this collaborations with Australian institutes.
I (Prof. Yoshitaka Kimura) visited the university of Melbourne (Prof. Marimuthu Palaniswami) and The Royal women’s hospital (Prof. Shaun Brennecke).
We discussed how to establish our collaboration.
We agreed on the following points,
1) Continuation of joint research project through ARC Linkage Project.
2) Start of a new research project to test fetal ECG machine at Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne and design of fetal ECG measurement protocol.
3) Development of a new research project targeting to monitor fetal brain function in collaboration with University of Melbourne and Royal Women’s Hospital.
Professor Palaniswami’s team will provide necessary support to analyze the fetal ECG data and Prof Brennecke’s team will provide all supports to implement fetal ECG machine at Royal Women’s Hospital.
