Riassunto (Italiano)
The assessment of cervical changes during labour is of paramount importance for a safe delivery. However, these measurements are manually carried out by gynaecologists, who provide subjective data strictly dependent on their experience and proprioceptive skills. For these reasons, simulation plays a central role in clinicians training processes. However, no simulators available on the market are able to actively and dynamically reproduce these changes. Aim of this work is to create, for the first time, a dynamic High-Fidelity simulator of cervical changes during labour, by using smart technologies such as granular jamming and Shape Memory Alloys materials.
