This blog is largely excerpted from an article featured in the 2019 winter issue of neonatal INTENSIVE CARE magazine.
Infant Monitoring in the Hospital and Home provides clinical value to healthcare providers. Monitoring enables the diagnosis and management of at-risk vulnerable infants to provide better outcomes. Monitoring also improves the quality of life for a pre-term infant by enabling the baby to go home earlier, and peace of mind for their family, knowing that their baby will not suffer from undetected life threatening events while lowering the cost of care by providing a low cost alternative to hospital care, enabling earlier NICU discharge.
