Preventing stillbirth from obstructed labor: A sensorized, low-cost device to train in safer operative birth.
Front Glob Womens Health
January 2023
Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- 98% of stillbirths happen in low- and middle-income countries, often due to obstructed labor and a shortage of skilled birth attendants, which this study addresses with a low-cost sensorized glove for better fetal assessments.
- The glove features flexible sensors on surgical gloves that accurately measure force applied to the fetal head and detect fetal sutures during mock vaginal exams.
- The device has shown promise with 100% accuracy in tests, and feedback from potential users indicates strong support for its use to improve safety and reduce unnecessary examinations.
Device for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Low-Resource Regions: Open-Source Description and Bench Test Evaluation.

Unitat de Biofísica i Bioenginyeria, Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut, Universitat de Barcelona, 08036 Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Negative (vacuum) pressure therapy promotes wound healing. However, commercially available devices are unaffordable to most potential users in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), limiting access to many patients who could benefit from this treatment. This study aimed to design and test a cheap and easy-to-build negative pressure device and provide its detailed open-source description, thereby enabling free replication.

Background: The concern with environmental security to avoid contamination of individuals was intensified with the crisis established by SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the necessity to create systems and devices capable of clearing the air in an environment of micro-organisms more efficiently. The development of systems that allow the removal of micro-droplets mainly originating from breathing or talking from the air was the motivation of this study.
