N2 - The results of the first validation of the prototype expert system FOETOS are presented. FOETOS is designed to assist the obstetrician in the diagnosis of antepartum and intrapartum foetal well-being. To evaluate the performance of this system, 20 delivered patients were selected for retrospective analysis. All patients underwent three antenatal tests (hon-stress test, foetal biophysical profile, and contraction stress test), and their labor data were available. The validation tool utilized was the man-machine performance method. While our results are encouraging, certain aspects of the system require modification to accommodate it to a real clinical environment. With such modifications FOETOS could be developed into a useful tool for the assessment of high risk pregnancies.
