The academization of midwifery education entails novel challenges. To second the transition process, the Heb@AR App is an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) training application. It is currently being deployed for self-directed and curricular on-site learning in several midwifery degree programs in Germany. The aim is to strengthen students’ practical competencies, especially for emergency situations. Hereby, the Heb@AR App is available through the app store on handheld (Android & iOS) devices for free and currently offers five midwifery-specific training scenarios.
