Hi All, I am working as part of a student-team at the University of Cambridge on the idea of developing wireless sensor technology for neonates in the NICU. The overarching goal of this is to progress the technology to a point where it serves to reduce the barrier to kangaroo care. In addition it is hoped the lack of attached wires will have a positive impact on the delivery of care from NICU nurses and doctors in emergency situations. There is also potential to develop the technology to be useful to low and medium income country NICUs. As part of the development we are trying to get opinions from a broad range of healthcare professionals working in NICUs all over the world. Here we have a survey which is aimed at medical professionals. It should only take 10 minutes of your time but all comments are greatly appreciated and will help a great deal towards maximising the clinical impact of the sensor technology. Thanks in advance for any possible comments / advice / insights you can offer - we really appreciate it!! If you have any questions feel free to ask below, Antonio The link again: https://goo.gl/forms/6jpOUd1jUDlTtpVA3 NOTE: We aren't actually associated with the group who published on wireless neonatal sensors in Science last week - and if you haven't seen that paper I would recommend giving it a read!

I think it's a really interesting idea - I'm curious to know how much they cost relative to the wired sensors? As a related issue: I'm actually working on a student-run project to study the potential for these wireless sensors for NICU units for an inventor here in Cambridge. We've actually prepared a short survey for healthcare professionals to try and evaluate the impact that such a technology would have. If any of you have any time we would really appreciate you filling out the survey and any comments would be extremely valuable to us! If you have any questions just reply to me here and I'll get back to you asap! Here is the link to the survey: https://goo.gl/forms/6jpOUd1jUDlTtpVA3 Thanks again, Antonio
