Abstract
The present invention provides an improved light system for labor detection by monitoring the status of a cervix, including dilation, during pregnancy and for monitoring vaginal pH at the cervix to detect the leakage of amniotic fluid, including a MEMS receiver programmed to receive and process MEMS cervical data into cervical status data for transmission to a remote network monitor a first cervical MEMS device positioned at a first cervix location and a second cervical MEMS device positioned at a second cervix location providing MEMS cervical data for transmission to the short range wireless receiver for detecting labor.
