    PreTel has developed new "focal" electrodes and a new way of interpreting uterine contraction data that is useful in evaluating preterm labor. PreTel is conducting ongoing NIH funded clinical studies at Duke University and Rochester University Medical center. PreTel has the potential to improve the lives of moms and their babies everywhere by doing a much better job of helping physicians evaluate threatened preterm labor. Improved evaluation leads to better outcomes through the timely and appropriate intervention to reduce preterm birth complications. Pretel is also conducting research on methods to help physicians better objectively adjust Oxytocin (Pitocin) dosage during labor. Oxytocin is the drug most commonly associated with preventable adverse perinatal outcomes and was recently added by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices to a small list of medications “bearing a heightened risk of harm,” which may “require special safeguards to reduce the risk of error.” see Pretelhealth.com
