Neonatal Hypothermia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluating the Accuracy of a Neonatal Temperature Monitor in Comparison With Existing Temperature Monitors
A team of researchers at Rice University and Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) are working to develop a low-cost temperature sensor that can continuously monitor an infant's temperature (NTM). This robust, low-cost device will allow for the individualized monitoring of each infant with alerts for hypo and hyperthermia. A reusable band placed around the infant's abdomen to hold the temperature sensor will eliminate disposable components. This study will assess the accuracy of this novel device against a gold standard (Philips Intellivue patient monitor) and up to two existing devices (Bempu and Thermospot).
