Abstract
A cervical dilation monitor for measuring the dilation of a cervix and for providing cervical data to an external wireless unit. The cervical dilation monitor comprises a housing, a sensor, a controller, and a power source. The housing is constructed of a biocompatible material and is adapted to be connected to portions of a cervical lip. The sensor is supported by the housing so as to generate signals related to cervical dilation. The controller includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver receives and transmits the cervical dilation data to the external wireless unit. The processor receives the signals generated by the sensor related to the cervical dilation and enables the transceiver to wirelessly transmit the cervical dilation data. The power source provides power to the controller.
