About Neonatal Passive Monitoring/Neonatal Wearables
Neonates in the NICU need to have at least three different leads on them at all times to measure heart rate, temperature. Often they need more than just that monitored and require different leads for every input collected typically attached to their skin and reattached every 12 hours. We are working on a wearable solution that can collect the standard of care variables as well other information that is not yet quantified clinically but has been used in medicine as a part of its ‘art’. Collecting this information allows us to use ML tools to understand the individual baby during its healthy and unhealthy periods while also giving us new insights into other parameters that correlate to clinically outcomes. Once we have established this model in the setting of the NICU we can use this model for an at-home version and for more rural hospital setups. We aim to be the translator between a vulnerable population that cannot tell us what hurts by collecting and making the most use of and sense of all the signals that they are putting out.
