Real-time pelvic floor monitoring for personalized perineal and pelvic floor protection
An EU-funded research program redefining how we detect and prevent pelvic floor trauma.
Pioneering Real-Time Protection for Pelvic Health
PELVITRACK is an EU-funded research initiative developing the first-ever solution to predict pelvic floor trauma during childbirth. By combining real-time monitoring and predictive modeling, we aim to redefine perineal care and provide clinicinas with acurate data, enabling them to optimize clinical care.
Real-time risk prediction
Personalized, preventative maternity care
Informed interventions during vaginal birth
Every Minute, More Women Are Affected
PELVITRACK is designed to reduce the incidence of perineal trauma and pelvic floor disorders. Both conditions affect a significant number of women. Since the launch of our project on the 1 st of April at 09:00 CST:
The Challenge
Pelvic Floor Disorders…
Affect 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men
Caused by tissue damage, often during childbirth
Lead to pain, incontinence, prolapse, sexual dysfunction
Why Now?
Up to 90% of vaginal births result in perineal tears
No real-time diagnostic tools currently available
Clinicians lack predictive tools for trauma prevention
A Breakthrough Monitoring Tool from Lab to Delivery Room
PELVITRACK integrates mechanical biomarkers, predictive models, and digital twins to assess tissue behavior in real-time. This enables proactive care and minimizes trauma during vaginal birth.
Better Health for All in a Changing World.

Predict and Prevent Perineal Trauma
PELVITRACK aims to transform childbirth care by developing a real-time, predictive tool that helps assess the risk of perineal tearing during vaginal delivery. By supporting timely, data-informed decisions, our goal is to prevent trauma and reduce long-term pelvic floor disorders (PFDs)—ensuring personalized, preventative care for every birth.
We are working to:
Define mechanical tracking biomarkers through ex vivo studies
Adapt our lab-scale solution for real-world clinical use
Model perineal tissue behavior with precision
Test and optimize devices using animal models and in silico digital twin simulations
