Embodiment Construction

[0152] In order to alleviate the problems described herein, the inventors had to invent solutions, and in some cases equally important, to sort out problems that others had ignored (or hadn't foreseen) in the field of fetal health. Indeed, the inventors wish to highlight the difficulty of identifying these emerging issues that will become more apparent in the future if industry trends continue to develop as the inventors expect. Furthermore, as multiple problems are addressed, it should be understood that some embodiments are problem specific and not all embodiments solve every problem or provide every benefit described herein using the conventional systems described herein. That said, improved methods for addressing different situations of these problems are described below.

[0153] Contractions are the periodic tightening and relaxing of the largest muscle in the female body - the muscles of the uterus. During contractions, the abdomen becomes hard to the touch. During la...

Abstract

A method for uterine activity monitoring may include: acquiring a plurality of signals from a plurality of sensors during uterine activity; processing the plurality of signals to extract a plurality of uterine electrical activity characteristics; analyzing the plurality of uterine electrical activity characteristics; and classifying the uterine activity as one of: a preterm labor contraction, a labor contraction, a Braxton-Hicks contraction, and a state of no contraction. A method of assessing over time a pre-term birth risk of a pregnant female may include: calculating a baseline pre-term birth risk score based on a user input; acquiring, over time, a signal from a sensor; analyzing the signal to extract a parameter of interest, such that the parameter of interest comprises a physiological parameter; and calculating an instant pre-term birth risk score based, at least in part, on the parameter of interest and the user input.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 534,586, entitled "Systems and Methods for Monitoring Uterine Activity," filed July 19, 2017 and filed on August 21, 2017 Priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 548,094, titled "Systems and Methods for Assessing Pre-Term Birth Risk," filed on 11 May 2009, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this article. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of obstetrics and, more particularly, to novel and useful systems and methods for monitoring uterine activity and assessing risk of preterm birth. Background technique [0004] Pregnancy is an extremely stressful time for expectant mothers. Because a pregnant woman's body changes in many ways during pregnancy, it is imperative that a pregnant woman begin to distinguish physical changes that indicate her body is preparing for labor...
