Silicone sensor study for protecting fragile skin in preterm babies
This study tests a soft silicone sensor that may help protect the delicate skin of babies born a bit early. It aims to see if the sensor is safe and helpful for babies who need monitoring in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby needs to stay in the hospital after birth for any reason.
- Your baby does not have any birth defects that affect the skin.
- Your baby's blood test shows a certain level of red blood cells (hematocrit between 40 and 60).
- Your baby is not in immediate danger of life-threatening problems.
- You or the legal guardian must agree to the study in writing.

This study tests a new tool to check the risk of skin injuries (pressure injuries) in newborn babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Your baby might be helped by better prevention and care.
This study checks whether a new sensor placed on a premature baby’s belly can measure oxygen levels reliably in real time. The goal is to improve how clinicians monitor breathing and oxygen in babies born early.
This study tests a small, wireless button-like sensor to monitor vital signs in premature infants in the NICU. It may offer a gentler way to track your baby's health.
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.
This trial tests wearable smart sensors that continuously track vital signs in children in the hospital (especially the ICU). It may help doctors watch changes sooner and learn how well the sensors work on children during care.
This study tests a special sensor that can be placed inside the umbilical catheter to keep a constant watch on oxygen levels in critically ill newborns. It may help doctors make faster and more informed decisions without extra blood draws.
