Recognizing the Problem
Observing the current diagnostic systems within the NICU presented several problems, identified by the need for :
• Automatic Sleep Apnea Detection and Intervention
• Continuous Electronic Monitoring of Bowel Sounds
• Improved System for Meconium Detection
Creating the Solution
After recognizing the aforementioned problems, the following solutions were created:
• Vibrotactile Stimulator (VTS)
• Stethoscope for Recording & Analyzing Bowel Sounds
• Meconium Concentration Analysis
