Abstract
A system for sensing one or more physiological traits and obstetric conditions, such as a fertility phase, pregnancy, labor, post-partum conditions, and other conditions related to the reproductive system of the patient. The system may use the one or more physiological traits sensed to define one or more patient attributes for the patient, such as a hormone level, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation level, uterine contractions, fluid level, and/or other patient attributes. The system is configured to compare the one or more patient attributes to one or more attribute signs describing a threshold for the one or more patient attributes. The system is configured to issue a communication to the patient and/or a clinician based on the comparisons. The system may be configured to assess and indicate reproductive phases for the patient over a life-cycle from the fertility phase to the post-partum phase.
