Testing a wireless brain oxygen monitor in the NICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the NICU
- Your baby is at least 32 weeks old (from conception) at the time of monitoring
- Your baby is already using a wired brain oxygen monitor called INVOS
- Your baby does not have any skin issues that could make using the device risky
- Your baby is stable enough and your family is not under too much stress to participate

This study is testing a device that checks blood oxygen levels in children having heart surgery or catheterization. The goal is to see if it works well for kids, which could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor blood health.
This study looks at whether a computer can read a baby's brain-wave test (EEG) to help doctors predict outcomes after oxygen loss at birth. If it works, it could help guide treatment decisions.
This trial looks at how well kidneys work in very premature babies (born before 32 weeks). It uses special sensors to monitor kidney health in the first few days of life.
This study tests a new wireless system to monitor and track newborns in hospital intensive care. Researchers want to understand how staff would use it and plan for hospital adoption.
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
This study tests a new way to monitor the brains of very young children (under 2 years old) in the ICU. It aims to give doctors better information to help protect your child's brain.
