At University of Wisconsin Noelle, the life-like robotic birthing doll, is used to help undergraduate and graduate nursing students practice birthing procedures. Noelle is life sized, wears a blond wig, and has bendable knees. Her chest rises and falls as she breathes and has a dialated cervix for the birthing.

Noelle can simulate various complications in birthing as well. From breech birth to bleeding or whatever the students require. The complications are not only limited to the actual birthing. For example, in one simulation Noelle complained about shortness of breath, after doing some troubleshooting it was discovered that she was lying on her chest tube which then they moved. Of course, the real thing is different, but overall it gives the students some confidence when faced with a real scenario.
