First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new, non-invasive device that listens to the breathing sounds of preterm babies to detect breathing pauses and heart rate changes. Researchers will enroll 50 preterm infants born before 32 weeks to see if the acoustic sensor can reliably monitor breathing compared to standard methods. The goal is to improve early detection of breathing problems in the NICU without disturbing the baby.
