Project Description

Modern societies are giving more and more priority to increase the quality of neonatal and post neonatal health sectors. The actual neonate sensor setup for heart and respiratory activities, and oxygen saturation is the following: gel electrodes to monitor the heart rate by electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse oximeter to monitor arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). The combination of the increasing number of parameters being monitored and the sensitivity of these sensors to body movement (especially the limbs) is responsible for the inacceptable high rate of false alarms, which in turn generates discomfort, stress and cardio-respiratory instability. These false alarms may also be the cause for caregiver desensitization which may dangerously lead to long response times for true alarms. Even if the problem is well known, it has not received new major incomes from the scientific community.
