MONITORING METHOD AND DEVICE INTENDED ESPECIALLY FOR PARTURITION AND THEIR APPLICATION

摘要

The process of the invention is characterized in that abdominal muscular activity and, in particular, uterine and abdominal contractions are detected, monitored and/or recorded and in that the change in the amplitude and the frequency thereof is subsequently followed. The device of the invention for monitoring parturition consists of a belt which comprises at least one sensing element acting in the longitudinal direction of deformation of the belt enables abdominal muscular activity to be detected. The sensing element is connected to an electronic circuit for evaluation, treatment and/or recording of data supplied by the sensing element. The resultant evaluation enables an alarm or safety system to be triggered.
