Neonatal Monitoring: Technology Innovation and Growth Opportunities

Neonatal Monitoring: Technology Innovation and Growth Opportunities


AI-enabled Noninvasive Monitoring that Offers Real-time Feedback and Intelligent Decision-making Drives Transformational Growth.

Neonatal monitoring medical technologies monitor newborn babies’ health and vital signs in the first few days or weeks of their life. These technologies are used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and other hospital settings or at home. Some commonly used neonatal monitoring devices include electrocardiography (ECG) monitors, pulse oximetry monitors, temperature monitors, and respiratory monitors. Such technologies monitor health changes caused by various stimuli in a baby’s environment and track development milestones. Monitoring a newborn’s vitals and health is important as it enables early detection of health conditions that require immediate medical attention; tracks critically ill infants’ health and progress; and ensures the safe transition of the newborn from hospital to home.

Neonatal monitoring technologies can be minimally invasive, invasive, and noninvasive. Though the current standard for neonatal monitoring is to use minimally invasive technologies, the industry is shifting to noninvasive technologies that offer several benefits, including increased comfort and reduced infection risk for the baby, less emotional stress for the parents, and ease of use for healthcare professionals.
