Abstract: This disclosure includes embodiments of apparatuses and methods for simulating the uterus of a human (e.g., for training medical providers to perform sonograms, amniocentesis, ultrasound-guided amniocentesis, and/or other procedures). For example, in at least some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a container with a compartment and an anterior wall that is configured to permit sonogram imaging of the compartment. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a container that is configured to be removably coupled to the abdomen of a live human or human model such that the compartment simulates the uterus of the human or model.

Abstract: Interactive voice response (IVR) systems and methods for delivery of healthcare services (e.g., by one or more medical professionals, such as, for example, in a hospital or clinic). In some embodiments, the present systems can be configured to: prompt one or more users for a plurality of voice inputs with information associated with at least one of a patient and a user; and determine whether each of the plurality of voice inputs is consistent with records related to the patient or the one or more users. In some embodiments, the present systems can be configured to: during performance of a procedure on a patient, prompt one or more users to provide a plurality of voice inputs with information related to progress of the procedure or characteristics of the patient; and/or prompt the user to perform each of a plurality of steps of the procedure.
