A smart health smart health connected object to fight against infant mortality

[ad_1]

The BORN project (Birth Oxymetry Routine for Newborns) was born out of an idea from the Newborn Foundation as part of a major UN problem-solving plan that uses new technologies and start-ups to do so. It comes in the form of a simple patch measuring health data in real time.

2 million infants die each year from diseases, often heart, because they are not detected during the first weeks, crucial for the survival of babies, often due to lack of control. It is from this observation that the ambition of the NGO started: to create a tool that monitors the body of newborns permanently.

How it works ? It's very simple: a oximeter patched on the baby and voila! With such a device, costing only 5 small dollars in the USA or even 50 cents in China (count 35 $ in the country of Uncle Sam for a normal and unique Review), we would be able to make available to any hospital a technology which could save lives, even in the poorest places of the planet. Indeed, here, no need for an armored rolling shelf of machines and computers, a single sensor with LED smart health connected to the child takes care of everything. Connect a smartphone to it, and thecompanion app details all physiological statistics live toddler to allow doctors to notice any anomalies.

China – in the top 5 of countries with the highest infant mortality – having contacted the manufacturers, they are currently testing their device in around fifty hospitals, and this on more than 78,000 babies!

We hope that the project will improve with wireless connection and alerts if alarming symptoms are detected!
