NCT ID NCT02863978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects heart rate, breathing, movement, and sound data from premature babies in hospital. The goal is to build a database that will help researchers develop new, non-invasive monitoring tools. These tools could one day reduce the need for wires and sensors, making care more comfortable for fragile newborns.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, less invasive monitoring systems for premature babies in hospital, potentially improving care and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an early data-gathering study, not a treatment trial. The tools developed may not prove clinically useful or may take years to implement.
