Abstract

The head-mounted displays have been tested in various fields in medicine. According to some results, using a head-mounted display makes medical operations faster, more effective and accurate than using a conventional table display. In this study we wanted to find out midwives experiences of using a head-mounted display in an ultrasound scan. Our preliminary result shows that head-mounted display in ultrasound scan could work better than conventional method. We also noticed that midwives who got higher scores of diffusion of innovation scale have a tendency to like head-mounted displays more than those who got lower scores.
