CARE FOR WOMEN WITH VIRTUAL REALITY TOOLS
In 2016 847.100 babies were born in France. Childbirth is often the mother's first hospitalization. In 30% of cases, women report having experienced a traumatic situation, and in 5% of cases, they develop a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This impacts approximately 42,000 women per year. These women experience a disturbed attachment to the child, complicated breastfeeding and/or difficulties in their sexuality.
