Summary

This study tests whether using a home pulse oximeter (like a smart sock) to monitor oxygen levels in high-risk infants after they leave the NICU can reduce emergency room visits and hospital readmissions. About 700 babies will be randomly assigned to receive the monitor or standard care. The goal is to catch problems early and avoid serious complications.
