For visually impaired or blind patients, the experience of pregnancy sets them apart from nondisabled people for whom viewing of the first ultrasound has become a social and emotional milestone.
We proposed the use of 3D-printed models to allow the societal inclusion of visually impaired or blind expectant parents.
Visually impaired expectant parents were proposed to touch a 3D printed sensory vector of their prenatal classic ultrasonography.
After a classic ultrasound assessment was performed, selected volumes were processed and 3D-printed with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Patient satisfaction was recorded after they manipulated the models.
A total of 42 prenatal 3D prints were for 12 expectant parents, used during 20 ultrasonographic sessions with visually impaired or blind expectant parents. During 13 of them (65%), it was the mother who was affected by a visual loss whereas the father was the parent affected by the disability during 7 sessions (35%). The parent affected by the disability was congenitally blind and Braille-reader in 9 ultrasonography sessions (45%). All expectant visually impaired or blind parents expressed very significant satisfaction with the use of 3D models for inclusive use.
We have shown that acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-printed models improve the sonographic experience of visually impaired or blind expectant parents. They can thereby perform their own mental representation process by extrapolating sensory information obtained from the 3D tactile support.
These low-cost 3D-printed models improve the inclusion of visually impaired or blind expectant parents, by offering them a sensory vector of information.
对于视障或失明患者来说，怀孕的经历使他们与非残疾人士有所不同，因为后者查看第一次超声检查已经成为一种社交和情感上的里程碑。
我们提出使用 3D 打印模型，以使视障或失明的准父母能够融入社会。
我们建议视障准父母触摸他们产前经典超声的 3D 打印感觉向量。
在进行经典超声评估后，处理选定的体积并用丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯进行 3D 打印。在他们操作模型后记录患者的满意度。
总共为 12 位视障准父母进行了 42 次产前 3D 打印，用于 20 次超声检查，其中 13 次（65％）是母亲因视力丧失而受影响，而 7 次（35％）是父亲因残疾而受影响。在 9 次超声检查中（45％），受残疾影响的父母是先天性失明且为盲文阅读者。所有视障或失明的准父母都对 3D 模型的使用表示非常满意，这有助于包容性使用。
我们已经证明，丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯打印模型可以改善视障或失明的准父母的超声体验。他们可以通过从 3D 触觉支持中推断出感官信息来进行自己的心理表象过程。
这些低成本的 3D 打印模型通过提供信息的感觉向量，提高了视障或失明的准父母的包容性。
