Track 1: Augmented reality (AR) technology changing global face of Midwifery:


Utilizing AR headsets and exact models of full-term moms, student maternity specialists at Middlesex University can participate in completely reenacted births, which the college's clinical staff trust will both sharpen their clinical abilities and leave them more ready to confront moves infrequently found in everyday practice.AR innovation offers clients an intuitive involvement with which objects in reality are improved by PC produced data. AR framework permitted understudies to see better the birthing system by showing an intelligent portrayal of a patient's life structures. The more youthful students will accept the innovation decidedly as they are of an age that has to a great extent grown up with PCs and intuitive conditions. The point is for maternity specialists to turn out to be more ready to diminish death rates, which are lopsidedly high among ethnic minority pregnancies.


Track 2:SDG objectives and Triple Billion Goals Shaping Midwifery to a master level:

The current wellbeing labor force interest to meet the SDGs is 4.45 birthing assistants, medical attendants and specialists per 1000 populace. This can be accomplished by:

- Optimizing the current labor force in quest for the SDGs and UHC (for example by training, business, maintenance) - Anticipating future labor force prerequisites by 2030 and arranging the fundamental changes (for example a fit for-reason, needs-based labor force)

  • Strengthening individual and institutional ability to oversee HRH strategy, arranging and execution (for example movement and guideline)

- Strengthening the information, proof and information on practical arrangement choices (for example public wellbeing labor force accounts).

It is important to take gender into account with regard to the nursing and midwifery workforce. Data from the Global Health Observatory show that women constitute 70% of the current global health workforce, making a vital economic contribution to achieving the SDGs. Their efforts to address issues of gender balance should be encouraged. Nevertheless, developing countries face glaring challenges as they have the lowest number of nurses and midwives per population. The situation is made worse by increasing rural-urban and international migration. The SDNM 2016−2020 offers a policy delivery gaps in countries. GCNMOs as decision-makers in Member States, nursing and midwifery associations and other partners can support the implementation of the GSHRH 2030 and the SDNM 2016−2020 to help achieve UHC and meet the SDGs. Nursing and midwifery leadership is critical to building primary health care.

Opportunities exist to integrate nursing and midwifery and health services delivery through a number of key areas.

These include:

- Evolving competency models
- Increase in case management and care coordination
- The role of multidisciplinary teams; nursing leadership for patient safety and quality services • nursing in emergencies and migrant services
- Health, information and communication technology and nursing in the digital age
- Refocusing on primary and palliative care.

Track 3:Healthcare IT Management for smart workplace practices:

Information on Prenatal Technologies:
The process of getting information on a technology can be tricky, so a couple of examples will be given to illustrate how to go about it. During pregnancy, mother might find it a good idea to test skills at getting information on a technology and to see how willing the midwife, nurse or doctor is to provide full, unbiased information. It is likely that a routine ultrasound scan will be suggested fairly early in your pregnancy. This presents a perfect opportunity to ask a few questions: “What is the chance the scan will make things worse? Is such a scan safe?” If the answer is a flat “Yes, ultrasound scanning during pregnancy is safe,” alarm bells should start going off in your head, because you are not getting the full information . The data on the safety of prenatal ultrasound,” in order to check on what you may be told about the data on the safety of prenatal ultrasound. The main issue here is because there is not sufficient scientific data to prove the safety of prenatal ultrasound.” Some research has shown the possibility that ultrasound can cause slowed growth of the fetus while still in the uterus. Other research has shown the possibility that some children who have been scanned while still in the uterus may later have mild neurological deficits.
In this field the types of technologies midwives can use are the breast feeding pumps. Many mothers have asked if they can safely sell, purchase or use a previously owned breast pump. Research evidence suggests that certain viruses and bacteria are transmittable through breast milk. Today’s technology cares about the health and welfare of breastfeeding mothers and babies. For this reason, experts advise against sharing breast pumps that have been previously owned. Different mothers have different breast pumping needs and economic means.

Track 4: Augmented reality (AR) technology changing global face of Midwifery:

Using AR headsets and lifelike models of full-term mothers, trainee midwives at Middlesex University can take part in fully simulated births, which the university’s clinical staff hope will both hone their clinical skills and leave them better prepared to face challenges rarely seen in day-to-day practice.AR technology offers users an interactive experience in which objects in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated information. AR system allowed students to understand better the birthing process by displaying an interactive representation of a patient’s anatomy. The younger trainees will embrace the technology positively as they are of a generation that has largely grown up with computers and interactive environments. The aim is for midwives to become better prepared to reduce mortality rates, which are disproportionately high among ethnic minority pregnancies. 

Track 5:Global impact of UHC ON ICM (International Confederation of Midwives):

This year the focus of World Health Day is universal healthcare for all: everyone, everywhere.  This theme really resonates with ICM as it’s particularly relevant to our work. Globally, women awareness and accessing technology at maternity services experiences are too much too soon or too little too late. Autonomous midwives working to their full scope of practice in enabling environments within functioning health care systems are the key to achieving the best outcomes for every woman, everywhere, every day. The aim is evidence based woman-centered, safe and effective maternal and newborn health systems.  For all women this means their health is our first priority. Midwives work with women, individuals, groups, health professionals, researchers and innovators to care for and educate our community on how to take care of their maternal and newborn health and access the services they need. ICM calls upon local and national governments, as well as international leaders to set, prioritize and integrate efforts across education, research and health technology service systems to the needs of women and their newborns. This primary health care strategy has the capacity to improve the health of nations and achieve quality, accessible, and equitable maternal and newborn health care to our communities.



 


Track 6:Pediatrics IT Management: Smart Midwifery outlook:

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine which plays a major role in midwifery. It prepares the proficient practice nurses/ midwife to administer primary health management to women and their infants, children, and adolescents. Major strategy is to Initiate, build and maintain. There are three stages in the breast milk production journey. As the stages are clearly interrelated, getting things right from the start will have a substantial impact on long-term milk production success. These unique infant sucking patterns in the first few days of life appear to program mother’s breasts for optimal milk production. New breast pump initiation technology that mimics early newborn sucking is a potentially viable and safe intervention to provide at-risk mothers with additional breast stimulation for optimal milk production outcomes. In many lactation situations, interventions aren’t started until a mother reports problems. Hybrid Expansion of Retail and Online Channels to Lead Future Growth’ presents a comprehensive analysis of the industry covering aspects including market size of maternity and baby care products market by revenue and market segmentation by product categories in each industry. The market for baby care products in India has increased from INR 34,564.8 million in 2008 to INR ~ million in 2013, registering a CAGR of 11.8% during the period. Baby Food and Skin Care are the largest segment contributors to the baby care products industry having a market share of ~% and ~% respectively in 2013. Every day nearly 8,000 newborns and 800 mothers die from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and complications during the first month of life. There is a global critical shortage of 3.5 million health workers, including 350,000 midwives, without whom millions of women and newborns are at risk. Moreover, their services are unequally distributed – among and within countries. In a study of the availability of maternity coverage in the individual market, the National Women’s Law Centre found that the vast majority (87%) of individual health plans available to a 30-year-old woman across the country did not provide maternity coverage. This report analyses the worldwide markets for Maternity Apparel in US$ Million. The report provides separate analytics for US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Middle-East, and Asia-Pacific for the period 2013 through 2020.Detection of moms at risk for suppressed lactation-Although breastfeeding initiation is at an all-time high of 81%, rates of breastfeeding exclusivity and duration lag behind national goals. Women who stop breastfeeding before meeting their goals often report they did not have enough milk. There are multiple maternal risk factors for delayed milk production and suppressed lactation. Demographic trends in developed countries indicate all these risk factors have increased, some quite dramatically, in the last 20 years. Additionally, many women have multiple risk factors and are at significant risk for lactation problems.

Track 7:Global Midwifery Advocacy: policies, current issues and its management:

Challenges and barriers to CNM/CM clinical practice generally fall into one of two categories: those created by restrictive state laws and regulations and those that, although they may have a regulatory component, can be considered related to the business of midwifery. This section of the paper describes major regulatory and business midwifery challenges.

Track 8:Regulatory barriers:

Both the legislative authority granted to CNM/CMs to practice independently and where they practice varies considerably state to state. According to data compiled by ACNM on State Legislation and Regulatory Guidance ACNM, midwives that are not nurse-midwives are illegal in 10 states, 12 states have no laws or regulations about non-nurse-midwives and 2 states prohibit CNMs from doing home births
 
Three major regulatory challenges exist within many states: (1) the requirement for either physician supervision or a written collaborative agreement with a physician; (2) the requirement for physician supervision of prescriptive authority even in the presence of otherwise independent practice, as well as the extent to which prescriptive authority is granted (e.g., the ability to prescribe controlled substances); and (3) legislation governing midwives and out-of-hospital birth.
 
Collaborative agreements- These regulatory barriers hamper access to midwifery care in several ways. Hospital credentialing and/or admitting privileges may be denied if the CNM/CM cannot find a physician willing to sign a contractual agreement. Third-party reimbursement may also be denied without a contractual agreement, even if services clearly fall within the midwife’s scope of practice. The requirement for a formal contract with a physician also creates an economic disadvantage for CNM/CMs, either because it can restrict the number of midwives “allowed” to practice with a particular physician or because it creates a potential barrier to the development of practice in a particular area ACNM. In many instances, because of this supervisory requirement, midwives are not considered members of a “profession” and therefore CNM/CMs are unable to open their own practices as Professional Limited Liability Corporations (PLLC). Such laws may cause midwives to leave a restrictive state and move elsewhere to work, potentially decreasing access to midwifery care in that state.
 
Prescriptive authority-Prescriptive authority restrictions have long been problematic for midwives. Independent practice without the ability to independently prescribe is not independent practice. This barrier prevents the creation of practices especially where there is no physician willing to partner with a midwife. Unclear prescribing practices also results in patient – and pharmacy – confusion as to the prescriber and care provider, potentially resulting in a lack of provider accountability.

Track 9:Incorporation of Globalized Quality Management platform for better midwifery outcomes:

Different Quality Indicators shaping out the field of Midwifery with modern technologies are needed to be updated and the calibration of the technological logistics is needed to be audited on a regular basis. All those logistic management approaches, the quality indicators and audit analysis reports are to be followed up and risk areas should be prioritized and resolved accordingly.

Track 10:Various Global Midwifery societies- Accreditations and its facilitation

Effective ACME (Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education) execution to increase quality care in midwifery practices.

 


 


Track 11:Quality indicators and lean six sigma approaches for Sustainable Midwifery Management

we focus on the quality indicators frame the major outline of any Association. For building a powerful tech-team of globalized Midwifery Ambassadors, certain indicators are needed to be followed.

 


 


Track 12:Nutritional IT Counseling: Impact on Mother and Child

Designing various applications for nutritional information and online data system where all the nutritional diet intake information’s are regularly updated is a great source of online nutritional counseling.

 

Track 13:Psychological counseling: Hypnobirthing Visualization –A Mental power toolkit

Psychological counseling includes tracking down various sensations of birth. The thing is not all women experience pain. Midwifery counselors certainly had clients who have said the sensations were strong or intense but not painful. Some women even experience the sensations as pleasure by techniques like clients might have felt the last ‘contraction’ or ‘surge’ or ‘wave’ was really strong they are over it. Hypnobirthing alludes to a self-routine with regards to trance, unwinding and breathing systems that can be utilized amid labor to limit the distress, nerves, and torment, making a mother responsible for her introduction to the world. It can be learnt from restorative focuses, books and online courses which are currently effortlessly accessible. It includes utilization of specific positions and unwinding procedures through sound or breathing which help in discharging a greater amount of oxytocin and lesser adrenaline. It is normally useful if both the partners learn in for shared help. Midwifery Congress 2021 welcomes prudent talks regarding this matter for medicinal experts.

 


Birth Visualizations Techniques- Different Mind calming apps which explain the mental basics of birthing are used worldwide now days by the midwives. “When the surge comes, imagine a wave building. And as the surge gets stronger, the wave gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger until eventually you reach the top and the wave falls away. You on the other side you did it. You’re over that one. And now, you reset your mind until the next one comes. Totally relaxed, Feeling grateful that each wave is bringing you a little closer to your little one. Your muscles work best when they are relaxed.  Imagine a goddess positioned in front you. She is beautiful, centered and grounded. She is strong and powerful. Her feminine energy is divine. She is clear. She is YOU! Imagine the energy that runs through her runs through you too. When the sensations get stronger and you are starting to need to breathe through them, the sensations you are feeling are actually your uterus are drawing up to allow your baby to get out. So, one idea is on the in-breath you can imagine in your mind bubbles rising and then as you breathe out slowly though your mouth, you might like to imagine blowing away the bubbles as they continue to float upwards."
