Electrical and Mechanical Modeling of Uterine Contractions Analysis Using Connectivity Methods and Graph Theory [PDF]
Premature delivery is a leading cause of fetal death and morbidity, making the prediction and treatment of preterm contractions critical. The electrohysterographic (EHG) signal measures the electrical activity controlling uterine contraction. Analyzing EHG features can provide valuable insights for labor detection. In this paper, we propose a framework

Using Kernel Methods and Model Selection for Prediction of Preterm Birth [PDF]
We describe an application of machine learning to the problem of predicting preterm birth. We conduct a secondary analysis on a clinical trial dataset collected by the National In- stitute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) while focusing our attention on predicting different classes of preterm birth. We compare three approaches for deriving

Review on Prostaglandin and Oxytocin Activity in Preterm Labor [PDF]
The principal difference between term and preterm labor is how they are activated. It has been proposed that term labor results from physiological activation of the common terminal pathway, whereas preterm labor is a pathological condition caused by ...

Maternal and Fetal Health Status Assessment by Using Machine Learning on Optical 3D Body Scans [PDF]
Monitoring maternal and fetal health during pregnancy is crucial for preventing adverse outcomes. While tests such as ultrasound scans offer high accuracy, they can be costly and inconvenient. Telehealth and more accessible body shape information provide pregnant women with a convenient way to monitor their health.

Hidden Markov Models for sepsis detection in preterm infants [PDF]
We explore the use of traditional and contemporary hidden Markov models (HMMs) for sequential physiological data analysis and sepsis prediction in preterm infants. We investigate the use of classical Gaussian mixture model based HMM, and a recently proposed neural network based HMM.
