Purpose and goal
Expected effects and result
The project aims to reduce the risk of childbirth-related pelvic floor injuries, which can lead to incontinence and chronic pain. By using sensors, we want to predict the risk of damage in real time and enable preventive measures. The goal is to develop a system that improves maternity care globally and contributes to sustainable development in the health sector. It can also lead to more efficient maternal care and strengthen Sweden´s position in innovative maternal health technology.
