Biosensor for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Within the device, there is a temperature sensor aspect to this product allowing for body temperature to be measured. Body temperature of NAS babies is necessary to know so when a fever is present, the product will be able to detect and notify the user of this. This product will have an app to collude with the biosensor in order to provide the user with the most accurate data. The app prompts the user with multiple questions pertaining to the baby’s well-being. A product to prevent prolonged and unnecessary stays along with prevention of long term complications and sometimes even death is required. The device being developed will provide critical data related to the instantaneous status of the NAS baby. Therefore, eliminating complications and allowing for a safer NICU experience.
