Improved multi-scale modeling of uterine electrical activity

Objective: We aim to simulate the uterine electrical at the myometrium level and at the skin level where it can be recorded non invasively. Material and methods: We use 2D models both at the myometrium scale and for the volume conductor. The multi-scale model has been implemented in Python, as a complete package including the needed tools. To speedup the slower step, we integrated parallel execution. Results: We obtain realistic simulations of EHG signals as recorded by an electrode array placed on the woman abdomen. Conclusion: These simulations are still generic, the next problem to address will be the identification of the model’s parameters to obtain patient specific simulations.
