Abstract: A wearable birthing simulator and method of operating thereof are disclosed. The simulator includes a housing that is securable to a subject and the housing defines an opening. Positioned within the housing is a uterus simulator and a removable fetal model contained therein. Coupled to the uterus simulator is a birth canal simulator. A birthing device comprises an actuator assembly in communication with the controller for automatically moving the fetal model towards the birth canal simulator. One or more sensors are mounted to the housing and are electrically connected to the controller for detecting movement of the fetal model by the birthing device. The feedback device is configured to provide the haptic feedback to the subject in response the movement of the fetal model toward the birth canal simulator. The disclosed simulator may be used to simulate a variety of childbirth scenarios.
