Abstract：
:The aim of this study was to explore the ergonomic challenges, the needs and reservations related to robot-assisted ultrasound for obstetric sonographers and thereby to provide information for the design of robotic solutions. A mixed-method design was used, where data from the obstetric sonographers and their immediate managers from 18 out of a Danish total of 20 obstetric departments was collected. The data was collected through a survey and interviews. 98.1% of the obstetric sonographers experienced ache, pain or discomfort related to scans. The most frequent cause for the sonographers' ergonomic challenges were the patients' physique (93,52%) and the need to obtain good image quality (83,33%). These reasons are non-controllable parameters for the obstetric sonographers and requires a solution, which ergonomically supports the sonographers in these situations. All of the interviewed obstetric sonographers (n = 8) and immediate managers (n = 3) claimed they were interested in testing a solution based on robot-assisted ultrasound.
