UiS has strengthened its collaboration with Laerdal Medical. One of the projects aims to make emergency calls to 113 (999/911 in Norway) easier to handle using artificial intelligence (AI).

This summer, Laerdal Medical will conduct 2,500 simulated births using its latest birth simulator, MamaAnne. While the simulator has already been tested for commercial release, this summer’s testing is part of ongoing validation to ensure the technology, anatomy, and user experience remain at the highest level over time.
In total, we estimate that the projects we support are already helping save around 300,000 more lives annually. With continued scaling and expansion, we could reach 700,000 to 900,000 – and possibly one million – more lives saved each year compared to 2019.
SIMCharacters’ high-fidelity neonatal simulator will enhance Laerdal’s current baby simulation portfolio, offering healthcare professionals, and educational institutions an even broader suite of tools to improve healthcare training.
