Résumé

New contraceptive methods like the subcutaneous implant offers a new kind of comfort for women with an efficiency similar to the contraceptive pill. Unfortunately, the few numbers of unintended pregnancies that have been reported, are generally due to a bad insertion of the implant. In order to give more security to patients, we have designed, in close collaboration with physicians, a new kind of medical simulator. This simulator can be used for two purposes: one for training novice physicians in the correct gesture and the other for doctor certification which will help to determine if they are capable of inserting the implant in vivo. This paper describes the approach which has led to the design of this simulator. It describes its functionalities, its several components but also methods used to analyze the gesture of the implant insertion inside the patient. Finally, first experimental results are reported and discussed.
