Ninety million couples’ resort to fertility treatment every year because they have difficulty conceiving. Only about half succeed, despite spending $100,000 or more. Current fertility treatment techniques rely on the morphology of the uterus and hormones to identify if the conditions are right for implantation. The DIMEC project, from the University of Cyprus, conducted research for a new medical device, the Electro-utero-graph (EUG), which allows the recording of electrical signals from within the uterus in a simple, pain-free method, by inserting patented electrodes within the endometrial cavity. This device monitors uterine contractility, in the same way that the Electro-cardio-graph (ECG) monitors cardiac health.
