Smart mattress could track baby breathing without wires

This study is testing whether a pressure-sensing mattress can accurately monitor the breathing and heart rate of newborns who need breathing support. The mattress uses a technology called ballistocardiography to detect tiny movements. Researchers hope this could lead to a gentler way to track babies' progress and help doctors decide when to safely remove the breathing tube. The study will include 60 newborns with lung problems.
