WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) -- The only automated, wearable birthing simulator is now being used as part of the nursing program at the University of Delaware.

Avkin, a Wilmington-based company, released the device called AvBirth as part of the maternal care curriculum at the university.

AvBirth allows health professions students to practice on a live, non-pregnant patient who is wearing the birthing simulator.

It goes through all the phases of labor and delivery.
