UEA researchers pioneer first patient-specific 3D virtual birth simulator

Computer scientists from the University of East Anglia are working to create a virtual birthing simulator that will help doctors and midwives prepare for unusual or dangerous births.The new programme will take into account factors such as the shape of the mother's body and the positioning of the baby to provide patient-specific birth predictions.The research will be presented at the International Conference on E-Health and Bioengineering in Romania today (November 22nd).Dr Rudy Lapeer from UEA's school of Computing Sciences is leading the project.
