Vibrating patch could be lifesaver for tiny preemies

NCT ID NCT03651648

Summary

This study tested a new device called SENSITACT, designed to help premature babies who stop breathing. The system automatically detects a breathing pause and delivers a gentle vibration to the baby's lower belly to stimulate breathing, aiming to act faster than a nurse. Researchers tested it on 14 very premature infants to see if it safely reduced the length and severity of these dangerous events.
