Described herein are systems and methods for contraction monitoring. For example, a system for contraction monitoring includes an electrode patch including at least two electrodes, and a sensor module configured to be connected to the electrode patch. In some embodiments, the sensor module includes a signal acquisition module, a signal processing module, a power management module, a sensor control module, and a memory module and/or a data transmission module. In some embodiments, a method for contraction monitoring includes measuring, using the signal acquisition module, bio-potential signals by providing at least two electrodes on the abdomen of a pregnant woman. In some embodiments, a method for contraction monitoring includes processing, using the signal processing module, the bio-potential signal to extract electrohysterogram signals, maternal electrocardiogram signals and fetus electrocardiogram signals, and processing using the signal processing module, the individual signals to extract uterine contraction.
