‘Petrificus Totalus’: Dynamic consent in obstetric practice?: Technology in obstetric practice, to help supported decision‐making

Dynamic consent (DC) is ‘an approach to informed consent supported by an electronic interface’ that allows patients to ‘revisit and review consent decisions over time’.1 DC emphasises ‘communication and engagement on information delivered through a variety of media, over time, recognising the importance of catering for various informational needs and ensuring accessibility’.1 Currently, DC is primarily used in biomedical research, as with the RUDY study and the PEER registry.1 We argue that DC holds promise to bring about transformative change in obstetric practice.
