Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a non-invasive system for determining the maturation of a baby, which comprises a module for sampling a cardiac or electroencephalographic signal from a baby and advantageously performs a conversion of a plurality of temporal samples derived from the cardiac signal or from the electroencephalic signal into a visibility graph, then a determination of at least one index on the basis of this visibility graph, a comparison of at least one determined index with one or more statistical indices representative of the maturation of a plurality of babies and a visual representation of a distance between at least one determined index and the statistical indices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system for determining the maturation of a baby, comprising a module for sampling a cardiac and/or electroencephalographic signal of said baby delivering a plurality of time samples, the plurality of samples of said cardiac signal defining time intervals that separate two successive heartbeats; a module for converting said plurality of time samples into data representative of a visibility graph, a module for determining one or more indices from said data representative of said visibility graph, an analyzing module for comparing said one or more determined indices with one or more statistical indices representative of the maturation of a plurality of babies, a module for visually representing a quantity representative of a distance between said one or more determined indices and said plurality of statistical indices. 2. The system for determining the maturation of a baby as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one or more determined indices are assortativity or transitivity indices (ASSOR, TRANS).
