OverviewMaya is an automated birthing simulator designed to teach labour, birth and postpartum care fundamentals. It combines the portability and simplicity of a task trainer with the realism and scenario-based learning of a full-body simulator, enabling standardised obstetric training without complex setup.
Automated Birth SimulationDeliver repeatable, realistic births at the touch of a button. Automated fetal descent and delivery reduce facilitator workload and ensure consistent experience and rapid resets for increased hands-on practice.
App-Controlled Scenario ManagementConfigure and run scenarios via a user-friendly app. Adjust labour progression, fetal position and complications in seconds. The app supports multiple languages and logs trainee actions for exportable timelines.
Vaginal Examination Training- Cervical dilation: 4–10 cm for labour assessment
- Fetal station: realistic anatomical landmarks
- Presentation: four interchangeable presenting parts (flexed head, deflexed head, indifferent head, breech)
- Fetal position: adjustable rotation of the baby model
Normal & Emergency Obstetric Scenarios- Normal vaginal birth
- Vaginal breech birth
- Shoulder dystocia
- Assisted vaginal birth (forceps and vacuum)
- Third stage complications
- Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH)
Quantitative Blood Loss (QBL) MeasurementIntegrated Clean Bleed Mat supports realistic PPH scenarios with up to 2.5 litres simulated blood to train and assess QBL.
Designed for Independent LearningMaya's intuitive setup and automation allow learners to practise independently, reducing facilitator dependence and expanding access to simulation-based education.

ComparisonMaya — Other Birthing Simulators on the Market
Easy set up — Complex set up
Low maintenance — Higher maintenance
Designed for use with a simulated patient — Full-body manikins limit practitioner/patient interaction
Includes tech tools for labour customisation and automation — Reliant on manual control
Full articulated legs for realistic scenarios — Limited leg designs
Supports complete and partial placental delivery — Add-on or limited options
PPH included via Clean Bleed technology — PPH not supported or requires extra module
Focus on stages 1–3 of labour and PPH management — Focus on emergency management during birth
Detachable legs for portability — Full-body manikins suited to permanent placement
