The risk of Caesarean section being performed while the birth of a child is becoming more and more obvious. Today we reach some immense numbers of overall 30 percents cases in the United States of America, when doctors and near future parents decide on a C-section. As the matter of fact, many of them, approximately a half of mothers didn't need one. Caesarean section is necessary only when a number of complexifications are faced. Otherwise it provides unjustified risk on mother's health and on health of her child. looks like a new field where computers would be irriplaceable. To give a clearer word whether C-section is necessary in every particular case, a group of researchers from University of Florida in Gainesville have recently came up with an interesting gadget.Jose Principe is the headmaster of the group of researchers and he has presented a new labor progress analyzer. The device has been designed to give medics enough information about women's in childbirth state, so they would be sure if Caesarean is needed or not. Usually that is when birth is too much prolonged, but there is a problem in telling a prolonged birth from a normal one and what's more, predicting slow birth on the stage of very first labors. Slow birth in turn occurs because of specific uterus conditions. The new medical gadget itself is called upon to monitor uterus contraction activity, cervix and labor progress, filter gained data and to present it in clear graphic form on display. All these are achieved by wireless sensors. Sensors will not disturb a birthing woman in any way, but they will give all the information judging by strength and frequency of contractions and by muscle electrical activity characteristics. Though, the most intricate part of the monitoring computer is not the set of sensors, but the software which is now lined up as Jose Principe confirmed.
