One of the best ways of tracking an infant’s neurological development is to observe their movements as they play. A new “smart” jumpsuit is designed to do so automatically, providing consistently accurate data via machine learning technology.Continue R… Continue reading Jumpsuit uses motion sensors to tracks infants’ neurological development
Presently, in order to check electrolyte levels in newborn babies, blood samples are drawn from the infants twice a day. Soon, however, a “smart” pacifier could be used to non-invasively collect that same data.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wel… Continue reading “Smart” pacifier could warn of dehydration in newborn babies
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of leading causes of infant death and until now researchers have not been able to identify any specific physiological factor that may make a baby more vulnerable. A team of researchers in Australia have now id… Continue reading Landmark study finds first biomarker to detect babies at risk of SIDS
If a driver is preoccupied, or if there’s a disruption to their routine, they can forget and leave their baby in their car – if that car then gets too hot, the result can be lethal. The Infalurt Child Safety System is designed to keep such scenarios fr… Continue reading Infalurt warns drivers of babies forgotten in cars
An intriguing new study has found a chemical excreted by babies can influence aggression in humans. The findings reveal curious sex-specific responses to the chemical, triggering aggression in women but blocking aggression in men.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Baby smell triggers aggression in women but calms men down
Jaundice affects about 60 percent of newborn babies, and while it usually clears up on its own, it can lead to hearing loss or brain damage. It’s therefore important to detect and treat the condition as soon as possible, which is exactly what a new cam… Continue reading Webcam system detects jaundice in babies, and begins treatment
We’ve seen a number of interesting studies explore the relationship between poor sleep and obesity, with some also tying in other adverse health effects such as hypertension and diabetes. A new paper has investigated this phenomenon in newborns, findin… Continue reading Extra hour’s sleep lowers obesity risk for newborns
A newly published consensus statement, co-signed by nearly 100 scientists, is calling for the common painkiller acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol or APAP) to be used cautiously and conservatively during pregnancy. The researchers indicate there … Continue reading Scientists call for limited use of acetaminophen during pregnancy
New data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is affirming the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy. The ongoing surveillance project found no safety concerns for the vaccines or increased rates of miscarriage.Conti… Continue reading New CDC data affirms mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe during pregnancy
