Female snap connector as well as associated devices and methods
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a female snap connector with a base and a cap which opposes the base and forms a depth for the snap connector. The female snap connector further includes a socket that is formed into the cap for receiving the stud of a co-operational male snap connector. The base material of the female snap connector is or comprises a conductive polymer. The socket is set to deform elastically for complying to the passage of the complementary shape of the stud within the socket during insertion and removal of the stud in the depth dimension of the female snap connector.

Adjustable geometry wearable electrodes
The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for use of wearable electrode assemblies. The electrode assemblies improve comfort by providing increased overall surface area of their bottom surfaces, which make contact with the patient's scalp and hair. Collapse, compression, or telescoping of the bottom surface will thereby decrease the direct force and/or pressure applied by the distal member or members of the bottom surfaces to the skin. This may be advantageous in patients who have little to no hair in electrode contact areas, patient populations that are particularly skin-sensitive, and/or patients which must wear the electrode assemblies of an extended time period. The electrode assemblies further include structures to dispense and/or maintain conductive gel placed over the patient's skin, thereby maintaining electrical connection quality, and/or to facilitate the clearing of skin and/or hair prior to establishing an electrical connection.
COMPUTER-BASED PREDICTION OF FETAL AND MATERNAL OUTCOMES
The disclosure describes techniques for predicting maternal and/or fetal health outcomes based on maternal and/or fetal patient data. The patient data may include, for example, data regarding sensed biopotential signals such as maternal and/or fetal electrocardiography (ECG) signals, maternal and/or fetal electromyography (EMG) signals, and/or other biopotential signals. The patient data may further include maternal and/or fetal biometric data and/or health assessment data. The system determines, based on processing the patient data using a machine learning model trained with historical patient data for a plurality of patients, one or more predicted outcomes associated with the patient.
