Developed a device that simulates the appearance of a baby born

French scientists from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (Institut National des Sciences Appliquees) and Croix Rousse Hospital have developed a device that simulates the appearance of a baby into the world, and expect to use it to teach young doctors to accept delivery.

A device called BirthSIM is a model mother's pelvis and head of the newborn. Hydraulic system simulates the motion of a baby, and pneumatics "mimics" struggles. Model child's head is equipped with pressure sensors that trainees do not overdo with the "admission of labor." By the way, all actions interns locks the computer and the data used for the "debriefing". The picture shows the simulation of the Medical School of the University of Kansas.

However, Abderrahmane Heddar (Abderrahmane Kheddar) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology of Japan (AIST), which projects a similar but more complicated trainer, believes BirthSIM lacks realism.

He proposes to expand the visual capabilities of the device, adding to its equipment to play virtual reality.
