摘要：
A method of detecting contractions in a user, the method may include providing alternating current with a determined frequency, through a first path in an abdominal tissue, between at least a first pair of electrodes positioned apart from each other over a first abdominal surface of the user. The method may further include repeatedly measuring a response of the abdominal tissue to excitation by the alternating current passing between at least a pair of electrodes, identifying at least one muscle contraction according to the changes in the response, and determining occurrence of uterine contractions based on at least one characteristic of the at least one muscle contraction. A system for detecting contractions in a user may include an alternating current generator, at least two electrodes, and a processor, operatively coupled to the at least two electrodes.
