Abstract
A method and system for regulating uterine muscular activity including measuring uterine contraction with an electrical uterine monitor (EUM), and using sensed measurements of the uterine contraction to regulate uterine muscular activity by comparing the sensed measurements to a desired level, wherein the difference between sensed and desired level is used to calculate the level of either manual or automatic application of drugs or electrical signals.
