BirthReady: Offline-First VR Simulation Platform for Skilled Birth Attendant Training at Scale

Clau187May 20, 2026AI: 8.0

Description

BirthReady delivers 40+ hours of immersive obstetric emergency simulations — shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, eclampsia — on $300 standalone VR headsets with fully offline cached modules. AI-driven scenario branching adapts difficulty in real time. Competency scores sync to a national training registry when connectivity resumes.

A train-the-trainer model allows one certified facilitator to onboard 30 trainees per cohort. Target: 50,000 new skilled birth attendants trained by Year 3 across SSA and South Asia.
