MamaAnne is a training solution designed to help healthcare providers deliver safer, more confident maternal care. By enabling realistic, hands-on obstetric scenarios, MamaAnne empowers learners to develop critical technical skills, strengthen teamwork and communication, and prepare for high-stakes emergencies in a controlled, supportive environment.

Hear directly from some of our customers as they share how MamaAnne fits into their training programs, what makes her special, and why training with her matters.

Delivering Realism When Learners Need It Most

Professor Jon Hyett, MD uses MamaAnne to teach students in realistic obstetric scenarios at the University Centre for Rural Health, Northern Rivers. As he explains, "MamaAnne allows us to engage in simulation as if this is a real-life situation," he explains. "That realism has an enormous impact on how people learn, communicate, and work together as a team."

With her full-body realism and real-time communication capabilities, MamaAnne helps learners build confidence in high-pressure obstetric scenarios, strengthen critical teamwork and communication skills, and prepare for rare but serious emergencies in a safe learning environment.

Inspiring Tomorrow's Maternal Care Providers—One Realistic Birth at a Time

Rebecca Austin, a Clinical Skills and Simulation Educator, shares how MamaAnne has become one of the most loved and frequently used manikins in her lab. By helping inspire future maternal care providers and prepare students for high-risk obstetric emergencies like shoulder dystocia, MamaAnne plays a key role in everyday training.

"It takes less than a minute to reset between births," Rebecca notes. "That means a more productive simulation time for everyone." Designed to reflect real-world clinical practice while remaining easy to operate, MamaAnne allows educators to run back-to-back scenarios with minimal downtime and workload.

Turning Intense Obstetric Emergencies Into Safe, Powerful Learning Experiences

Rhys Beaumont, a medical student on placement, describes training with MamaAnne as "as close to a real birth as possible." For learners, realism makes a lasting impression, especially when practicing how to respond to obstetric emergencies and unexpected complications.

Simulation with MamaAnne helps students prepare for what Rhys calls the "organized chaos" of an emergency situation. Because MamaAnne has the ability to speak, learners must communicate clearly, stay aware of the full clinical picture, and avoid the tunnel vision that can happen under pressure.

Through hands-on learning, learners build confidence in both technical skills and respectful, effective communication. Across classrooms, simulation labs, and clinical training programs, MamaAnne brings realism, efficiency, and emotional preparedness together in one learning experience.

From foundational students to experienced clinicians, MamaAnne supports growth at every level while helping teams prepare for rare but serious events in a safe, supportive environment.

Together, these stories show how MamaAnne is not just a simulator, but a trusted partner in preparing providers for the realities of maternal care.
