We have designed new electromyography sensors for measuring uterine activity. These sensors are directional - they preferentially report uterine muscle contractions at specific locations, called regions. By measuring the synchronization of the regions of the uterus during contractions we intend to non-invasively determine if any patient is in-labor or not-in-labor. Accurately diagnosing true preterm labor allows timely intervention to avoid preterm birth; Accurately diagnosing false preterm labor avoids needlessly treating patients who would not benefit.
