Problems solved by technology

Here, EMG potentials due to movements in the body influence the measurements of the electrochemical sensors and cause errors in such measurements
Moreover, fluctuations in the temperature of the body affect the conductivity of the assay and affect its measurement

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Fetal descent must be monitored to make clinical decisions during labor. Likewise, monitoring of the fatigue level of a person in labor is not trivial in order to understand the person's level of endurance to continue labor and to determine any medical intervention that may be required. This varies from person to person, so an individualized pattern of fetal descent and fatigue levels provides a clearer understanding of the labor process and the person's current condition.

[0037] The present invention aims to provide a solution for monitoring the descending and fatigue levels of the fetus.

[0038] referenced below Figure 1 to Figure 12 The invention is further described by the non-exhaustive exemplary embodiments.

[0039] figure 1 A system (100) for monitoring labor progress of a human during labor is shown. The system (100) of the present invention mainly includes a lactic acid sensor (101), a strain gauge sensor (102), a data transmission unit (103) and a pro...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for monitoring labor of a person during child birth. The system of the invention comprises a first sensor, a second sensor, a processing unit and a data transmission unit. A first sensor is provided for detecting lactic acid in the sweat from the body of a person. A second sensor is provided for detecting muscular movement of the abdominal surface of the body of a person. Processing unit of the system determines the fatigue level and the descent of the fetus and of the respective patterns thereof, based on the corresponding and respective signals from the first sensor and second sensor, received and transmitted by data transmission unit. The invention also relates to a sensor for detecting lactic acid, a sensor for detecting muscular movement, and to a method for monitoring labor of a person during child birth.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable device for monitoring the progress of labor during childbirth. More specifically, the present invention relates to a wearable device for monitoring the decline of the fetus and the fatigue level of the mother during labor. Background technique [0002] Typically, vaginal delivery involves three stages, namely shortening and dilating of the cervix, descent of the fetus and its birth, and expulsion of the placenta. Periodic contractions of the uterus occur during labor which allow the fetus to descend and be born. However, in a vaginal delivery, it is unavoidable that the mother must be able to push the fetus through the pelvic tunnel. Pushing the fetus through the pelvic tunnel by the mother requires constant strength and energy. Often, this activity causes fatigue in the mother. [0003] Typically, fatigue occurs when aerobic respiration fails to meet the body's needs for energy and strength. Therefore, ...
