- Since the 1990s, research groups across the world have attempted to recreate the complex process of the second stage of labour on computer. This largely failed due to lack of computer memory and processing power in earlier days and more recently by underestimating the complexity of the problem. The presented childbirth simulation is the first successful worldwide attempt on covering the complex dynamics realistically. The R&D was partially funded by the NHS/NIHR in the early stages and focused on shoulder dystocia, a recurring problem in Obstetrics. Since its publication the article has been accessed more than 2250 times.
