"XR FOR NEWBORN RESUSCITATION"

Premature delivery or failure to breathe at birth are the leading causes of newborn deaths which is about 2.4 million each year. Training in how to help the baby who does not breathe includes drying and stimulating the baby, suctioning the mouth and providing bag and mask ventilation, has been effective in saving many newborn lives. Premature babies also require special care for warmth and feeding. Unfortunately, there are barriers to the effective implementation of these training programs in low resource settings, which have been worsened by challenges with data collection on skills performance and outcomes.
Computer-generated simulations or scenarios are an innovative method to train healthcare workers, and to allow for practice, with standardized feedback, even when an instructor is unavailable. These simulations can be accessed on mobile devices, commonly available in many areas that also have high rates of newborn deaths. Using virtual and augmented reality devices, including mobile phone based virtual and augmented reality, can support learners to access training conveniently on a device when simulation manikins and instructors are not available. Another advantage of XR training can be the use of automatic feedback. Utilizing these emerging technologies can support healthcare workers in learning and maintaining their skills, thereby saving newborn lives
