  • Method and apparatus for estimating a likelihood of shoulder dystocia
    Patent number: 7963916
    Abstract: A system and apparatus implementing a graphical user interface module for displaying information conveying a level of risk of delivery with shoulder dystocia associated to an obstetrics patient. The graphical user interface module displays a set of user modifiable information fields for allowing a user to enter a set of patient information data elements associated to the obstetrics patient. The graphical user interface module also displays a control allowing a user to cause the set of information data elements to be transmitted to a processing unit adapted to derive patient risk data at least in part on the basis of the set of information data elements, the patient risk data conveying a level of risk of delivery with shoulder dystocia. The graphical user interface module then displays the patient risk data with reference to risk assessment information.
