Abstract

See full text

A uterine monitor is provided for gathering characteristic data such as maternal uterine electromyogram, uterine temperature and intra-uterine pressure so that the onset of parturition or labor may be determined. The uterine monitor comprises a remote sensing unit, the remote sensing unit containing sensors which sense uterine temperature, intra-uterine pressure and uterine electromyogram. A transceiver is housed in the remote sensing unit and outputs the sensed signals to an external antenna. A monitoring station is provided for monitoring the sampled signals. Additionally a medication dispenser is provided which may be actuated by the monitoring station upon the onset of parturition or labor.
