A gentle new monitor for babies in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new sticker-like device that helps doctors constantly check breathing quality in newborns who need respiratory support. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well, which might mean more comfortable monitoring for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born between 26 and 40 weeks of pregnancy.
- Currently staying in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Receiving breathing support like a ventilator, CPAP, or a high-flow nasal cannula.
- Weighing between 1000 and 3500 grams (about 2.2 to 7.7 pounds).
- No known heart or lung birth defects, and no skin problems that would prevent sticky sensors.

This study tests a new soft monitor that uses light to check oxygen levels in your baby's belly, without needles or blood draws. It could help doctors keep a gentle watch on your baby's oxygen levels and find problems early.
This trial studies whether NEU-STIM can help support breathing and oxygen levels in babies born very early. If your baby is born before 32 weeks, the study may include them after you provide consent.
This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
This study is testing whether using ultrasound pictures of the lungs (called lung ultrasound) can help doctors choose the best breathing support for premature babies. It will involve babies who are already on NCPAP, a common breathing machine, and may help improve their treatment.
This trial tests whether using a remote oxygen monitor at home can help prevent ER visits and re-hospitalization for infants leaving the NICU. It aims to see if this simple device can provide extra safety and peace of mind for families.
