Abstract

Instrumental birth is common practice, but without properly determining the position of the fetus prior to placement, trauma to both mother and baby can occur. Currently, internal vaginal examination is the easiest method to determine fetus position, but is challenging as it requires tactile feedback to determine anatomical landmarks. To assist clinicians with this task, we have designed a novel sensor glove that can detect changes in the surface that indicate anatomical structures of the neonatal head, thus allowing the user to determine the position of the fetus. However, we still need to determine the utility and usability of this device. In this work in progress, we present the pilot study and explore improvements based on the findings from the study to refine both general and ecological validity aspects of the study.
