ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new advanced wireless sensor system designed to monitor the vital signs of healthy newborns right after they are born. The goal is to see if this wireless system works well compared to the traditional wired monitors currently used in hospitals. The study will look at how feasible, safe, and accurate the wireless sensors are for monitoring vital signs during the first two hours of the baby's life, while parents care for them in the delivery room.

To participate in this study, newborns must be at least 35 weeks old and stable at the time of delivery, meaning they are healthy and do not show any immediate medical concerns. Babies with skin issues or born before 35 weeks are not eligible. During the trial, each baby will have both types of monitoring devices placed on them, and their vital signs will be observed for two hours to gather important information about the new system's performance. This research could help improve how newborns are monitored in the future.
