Helping save the lives of mothers and newborns around the world
MamaAnne aims at covering a large spectrum of training scenarios involved in labor and maternal journey. The project has started with an ambitious scope to improve the user experience and enhance the learning outcomes in midwifery education right from the first trimester to all the way up to delivery and complications like post partum hemorrhage(PPH)
For the past three years, I have been heavily involved in the MamaAnne project making sure the product meets the critical user needs and improving the user experience not just for learners but also educators who uses the simulator regularly to train the healthcare professionals
According to the WHO, maternal deaths occur nearly every two minutes, resulting in over a quarter million mothers dying a year. Many of these fatalities are preventable.
MamaAnne is aimed at building confidence and competence when facing critical, obstetric emergencies through high-fidelity simulation training. MamaAnne maternal and birthing simulator, provides the platform for that training through:
/ Flexible solutions to adapt to the simulation scenario needs
/ Simplified configuration for rapid use and setup.
/ Automatic Delivery System to enhance realism.
The MamaAnne birthing simulator project was started with an intention to redefine obstetric training with features focused on efficiency and realism. It enables rapid setup for quick session transitions and offers immersive labor and delivery simulations, enhancing hands-on learning.
We developed modular options that include flexible bleeding solutions and interchangeable modules, MamaAnne adapts to diverse training needs. Its emphasis on inclusivity supports both social and economic benefits in healthcare education.
It was the training itself, rather than the location or the simulation equipment used, that appeared to be the key to success.

MamaAnne will be a game changer for many simulation centers, allowing the mother to have a birth and continue into a PPH case without leaving the scenario or resetting. Providing this option will enable more realistic training opportunities for institutions to meet their end users’ needs better.

The aim was to provide a safe and realistic training platform where surgeons are allowed to make mistakes without harming a patient and gain the essential surgical skills.
