The Uterine Explorer toolbox analyzes electrohysterogram (EHG) signals for preterm labor prediction. It offers advanced time-frequency analysis to extract key uterine activity features, aiding in accurate labor prediction.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology

Background:

  • Uterine electromyogram (EHG) signals reflect uterine contractile activity.
  • Accurate prediction of preterm labor is crucial for neonatal health.
  • Existing EHG analysis methods lack comprehensive tools for time-frequency representation and feature extraction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Uterine Explorer, a specialized software toolbox for multichannel EHG signal analysis.
  • To facilitate the selection of appropriate time-frequency representations for EHG signals.
  • To extract spectral and temporal features for preterm labor prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized multichannel scalogram and spectrogram for EHG representation.
  • Extracted frequency and time marginals, instantaneous frequency, and bandwidth as EHG features.
