Prototype of a pelvis-type birth simulator with real-time visualization system for the American College University Institute-2023

Abstract

Birth simulators are educational tools used in medical and training settings to train future professionals in childbirth-related procedures. These kits can have varying levels of realism and functionality, but typically include aspects such as the anatomy of the pelvis and female reproductive organs, as well as the ability to simulate various birth scenarios. The general objective of this research is to make a prototype of a pelvis-type birth simulator with a real-time visualization system using the ESP-Wroom 32 module adapted to the web for the American College University Institute. The me
thodology used is pre-experimental of a transversal type, a prototype was developed that consists of three phases: design, programming, and assembly. For the acquisition and adaptation of the data, six sensors are used that are located at strategic points in the neonate. The measurement variables are pressure, force and level of curvature, while, for the transmission of data to the web, it is done through a WIFI connection that is enabled through an IP address with the module, this allows the data to be viewed from any device. As a result, the birth simulator adapts to these devices to have a controlled environment, especially during the teaching-learning process. The data obtained allows the student to have direct feedback in real time, so that, at the time of delivery, carry out appropriate management. This simulator allows the teacher and student to improve the quality of prehospital care.
