Our main work consists in modeling of the female pelvis and uterus, as well as the human fetus. The goal of this work is to recover the different forces generated during the delivery. These forces will be input to the haptic obstetric training tool BirthSim which has already been developed by the Ampère Laboratory at the INSA of Lyon. This modeling process will permit us to develop a new training device to take into account different anatomies and different types of delivery. In this paper, we will firstly show the different existing haptic and virtual simulators in the obstetric world with their advantages and drawbacks. After, we will present our approach based on a biomechanical modeling of concerned organs. To obtain interactive time performance, we proceed by the simplification of the organs anatomy. Then, we present some results showing that FEM analysis can be used to model forces during childbirth. In the future, we plan to use this work to more accurately control a childbirth simulator.

Heart-on-a-chip (HoC) devices have emerged as a powerful tool for studying the human heart's intricate functions and dysfunctions in vitro. Traditional preclinical models, such as 2D cell cultures model and animal model, have limitations in accurately predicting human response to cardiovascular diseases and treatments. The HoC approach addresses these shortcomings by recapitulating the microscale anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the heart, thereby providing a more clinically relevant platform for drug testing, disease modeling, and personalized therapy.

Aims: Image-based, patient-specific rupture risk analysis of AAAs is promising but it is limited by invasive and costly imaging modalities. Ultrasound (US) offers a safe, more affordable alternative, allowing multiple assessments during follow-up and enabling longitudinal studies on AAA rupture risk.
Methods And Results: This study used time-resolved three-dimensional US to assess AAA rupture risk parameters over time, based on vessel and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) geometry.
