Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device comprising a communication circuitry, raw bio-potential data outputted from a plurality of bio-potential sensors disposed within a garment worn by an expectant mother during a fetal heart rate (FHR) session, that is configured to position and contact the plurality of bio-potential sensors on skin of an abdomen of the expectant mother;
wherein the plurality of bio-potential sensors is configured to detect cardiac electrical activity and to output the raw bio-potential data;

calculating, by the computing device, fetal heart rate data based at least on the raw bio-potential data;
generating, by the computing device, an input data set for the expectant mother during a time window;
wherein the input data set comprises at least the fetal heart rate data;

completing, by the computing device, the input data set with at least one missing data sample to provide a completed data set;
removing, by the computing device, at least one segment from the completed data set based on at least one criterion to provide a corrected data set;
calculating, by the computing device, a baseline fetal heart rate based at least on the corrected data set,
wherein the baseline fetal heart rate is an average fetal heart rate of the corrected data set during the time window;

detecting, by the computing device, at least one event occurring during the time window based at least on at least one of the corrected data set or the baseline fetal heart rate,
wherein the at least one event includes an acceleration, a deceleration, or a baseline change;

classifying, by the computing device, the at least one event as either an acceleration, a deceleration, or a baseline change based at least on at least one of the corrected data set or the baseline fetal heart rate;
generating, by the computing device, an FHR session output indicative of the at least one event; and
transmitting, by the computing device, via the communication circuitry, an instruction to display on a graphical user interface associated with a user, the FHR session output to enable at least one action being taken by the user with respect to the expectant mother;
wherein the FHR session output comprises at least one of:
an alert based on the at least one event that the FHR session is normal, suspicious, or pathological, or
an FHR trace comprising at least one marking of the at least one event on the FHR trace.
