With menstrual leave still not a given option, wearable tech might come to the rescue of people experiencing excruciating period pain...
A Hungarian company has developed a wearable bodysuit to help relieve menstrual pain by combining heat and micro-vibrations.is connected to an app which can also track your menstrual cycle and pain.
She was part of a group of volunteers who signed up for Alpha Femtech’s social media call to help in the testing and development of the bodysuit to reduce period pain. The Artemis bodysuit will be available to buy in the UK and the EU later this year for an estimated £194 .Tens are often used by women during childbirth, to emit electrical pulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Meanwhile, the heat panels soothe the uterus and surrounding muscles.
This connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to an app on the user’s smartphone, which is used to adjust both heat and electricity levels.

Frontiers | Preventing stillbirth from obstructed labor: A sensorized, low-cost device to train in safer operative birthBackground: 98% of stillbirths occur in low- and middle- income countries. Obstructed labor is a common cause for both neonatal and maternal mortality, with a lack of skilled birth attendants one of the main reasons for the reduction in operative vaginal birth, especially in low- and middle- income countries. We introduce a low cost, sensorized, wearable device for digital vaginal examination to facilitate accurate assessment of fetal position and force applied to the fetal head, to aid training in safe operative vaginal birth. Methods: The device consists of flexible pressure/force sensors mounted onto the fingertips of a surgical glove. Phantoms of the neonatal head were developed to replicate sutures. An Obstetrician tested the device on the phantoms by performing a mock vaginal examination at full dilatation. Data was recorded and signals interpreted. Software was developed so that the glove can be used with a simple smartphone app. A patient and public involvement panel was consulted on the glove design and functionality. Results: The sensors achieved a 20 Newton force range and a 0.1 Newton sensitivity, leading to 100% accuracy in detecting fetal sutures, including when different degrees of molding or caput were present. They also detected sutures and force applied with a second sterile surgical glove on top. The software developed allowed a force threshold to be set, alerting the clinician when excessive force is applied. Patient and public involvement panels welcomed the device with great enthusiasm. Feedback indicated that women would accept, and prefer, clinicians to use the device if it could improve safety and reduce the number of vaginal examinations required. Conclusion: Under phantom conditions to simulate the fetal head in labor, the novel sensorized glove can accurately determine fetal sutures and provide real-time force readings, to support safer clinical training and practice in operative birth. The glove is low cost (approximately 1 USD). Softwar
