Summary

This study is testing whether wireless, wearable sensors can safely and accurately monitor the heart rate, breathing, temperature, and oxygen levels of newborn babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Researchers will compare the wireless data to standard wired monitors and check for skin irritation or discomfort. The goal is to see if wireless monitoring is a practical and less restrictive option for both term and preterm infants.
