ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting for and initiating contractions of a uterus of a human patient employs a sensor for sensing electrical activity of the uterus of the patient. Data from the sensed electrical activity is stored in memory. A processor accesses the stored data for analysis. Electrical energy is applied to the uterus to initiate a uterine contraction when the analyzed data fails to satisfy predetermined detection criteria.
