Contraction & Heartbeat Overview
Dual ESP32 belts · last 12 intervals · adjustable thresholds
Non-linear FSR model (Interlink/Ohmite). Force F = (R/A)^(-1/b).
Derivatives mark contraction onset/end using thresholds on dP/dt.
Low-pass + sliding window to estimate TOCO-like intensity.
Study on 12 pregnant subjects showed graded fetal HR rise with uterine activity: moderate contractions ≈ +4 bpm, strong ≈ +5.7–7.6 bpm (Holter + electrohysterography, daily living). Hypothesis for this belt: FSR-derived force F(t) → normalized intensity I=clip(F/Fref,0,2) → ΔFHR=clip(4·I,0,8) bpm; predicted fetal HR = baseline + ΔFHR. Reference: Sletten et al. 2016 (PubMed).
