HITS Lab

The HITS Laboratory conducts research, develops and tests new technology, and generates knowledge in healthcare innovation.

SEFM

SEFM is helping students, instructors and obstetric healthcare providers understand how to deliver safe and effective care to the unborn child and mother during the labor process.SEFM is helping both students and instructors further understand how to provide safe and effective care to the unborn child and mother during the labor process. The app was developed by HITS and the UT Research Foundation to produce realistic chart patterns displaying fetal heart rates and maternal contractions.

The app offers a richer learning experience by supplementing instruction with demonstrations. The app is able to assess the wellbeing of the baby and when the baby is in distress. This information helps guide healthcare professionals toward the appropriate plan of action.The SEFM App was developed by Susan Hébert, Dr. Sheila Taylor, Dr. Tami H. Wyatt, and Dr. Xueping Li. It is being tested and evaluated by the HITS team and providers at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Portsmouth, Virginia.
