Virtual birthing model becomes advanced teaching tool
MIAMI, Fla. – An estimated 7 out of 1,000 pregnant women in the United States experience complications during delivery that put the lives of both mother and baby at risk.
But science and technology has found a way to help prepare medical specialists for a host of unforeseen problems.
It’s done through a unique mixed reality enhanced learning system using both life-like simulators and holograms projected through a special headset to actually “see” what’s happening during a variety of programmed scenarios.
”What it really does is it allows the student to connect the dots between what they learned in the classroom and how it applies to actual clinical practice,” said Christopher Jorge, Director of Marketing for Gaumard Scientific.
