3D Virtual Birth Simulator to help avoid birth complications

The University of East Anglia last month announced that UEA researchers have pioneered a patient-specific 3D virtual birth simulator. The research aim is a virtual birthing simulator that can help doctors and midwives prepare for unusual or dangerous births. "Patient-specific" is the key aspect of their work, as the program takes into account the mother's body shape and the position of the baby to predict what might take place during the birth event.

The aspiration of these scientists is to provide a means of eschewing complicated child delivery. Although this is more of a curative or last minute approach to possible complications for there are several factors that could lead to these complications such as poor dieting, diabetes, hypertension, STD's etc.

It's my humble opinion to suggest that pregnant mothers should consult a midwife for proper care, tips and guide towards ensuing a safe delivery. I think the midwifery organizations would even be the major consumers of this project if eventually realised; what an appealing inventory!
