Abstract:
A garment includes a securing portion operable to removably secure the garment about an abdomen of a wearer; a sensor attachment portion pivotably attached to the securing portion, the sensor attachment portion including a sensor mount configured to receive and retain a sensor therein; and a sensor received in the flexible sensor mount; the securing portion and the sensor attachment portion being configured such that, when the securing portion is secured around the back of a wearer, the sensor attachment portion pivots with respect to the securing portion so as to self-position the sensor attachment portion across (a) an upper portion of the wearer's abdomen or (b) a lower portion of the wearer's abdomen; the flexible sensor mount being configured to orient a sensor received therein to be flush with skin of the wearer when the garment is worn by the wearer and to self-adjust during the course of pregnancy.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for positioning at least one sensor so as to be flush with skin on an abdomen of a wearer, the method comprising:\n providing a garment including:\n a securing portion operable to removably secure the garment about an abdomen of a wearer; \n at least one sensor attachment portion pivotably attached to the securing portion, each of the at least one sensor attachment portion including at least one flexible sensor mount configured to receive and retain a sensor therein; \n at least one sensor, each of the at least one sensor being received in a corresponding one of the at least one flexible sensor mount of the at least one sensor attachment portion; \n wherein the securing portion and the at least one sensor attachment portion are configured such that, when the securing portion is secured about the back of a wearer, the at least one sensor attachment portion pivots with respect to the securing portion so as to extend around (a) an upper portion of the wearer's abdomen or (b) a lower portion of the wearer's abdomen, and \n wherein each of the at least one sensor mount is configured so as to orient a sensor received therein so as to be flush with skin of the wearer when the garment is worn by the wearer; \n positioning the garment so as to encircle a midsection of the wearer such that the securing portion extends around a back of the wearer and the at least one sensor attachment portion extends around an abdomen of the wearer; securing the securing portion so as to retain the garment encircling the midsection of the wearer, whereby the at least one sensor attachment portion is positioned around one of an upper portion of an abdomen of the wearer and a lower portion of an abdomen of the wearer, and whereby the at least one flexible sensor mount flexes so as to allow the one of the at least one sensor received therein to be positioned flush with skin of the wearer.
