Testing a painless device to detect anemia in NICU babies
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a painless device that checks for anemia (low red blood cells) in babies without needing a blood draw. If your baby is in the NICU and already needs a blood test, this device might be able to replace it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby was born at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby needs a blood test as part of their regular care.
- Your baby does not have a known or suspected blood disorder.
- Your baby does not have a heart condition that causes blue skin.
- The skin where the sensor will be placed is healthy and not damaged.

This study tests a new, non-invasive way to measure hemoglobin without a needle. It compares this optical method with standard blood tests to see if it can help screen for anemia.
This study tests a device that measures hemoglobin (a part of your blood that carries oxygen) without needing a needle stick. It is for people who have had a hysterectomy or cancer-related annexectomy to see if it can accurately diagnose anemia (low blood count) after surgery.
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 trial checks whether a new device can accurately detect and track yellowing of the skin (newborn jaundice) in hospitals with limited resources. It may help clinicians monitor jaundice and decide on treatments like blue light therapy more reliably.
This study uses a light-based sensor placed on the skin to measure oxygen levels in the gut area of preterm babies during a blood transfusion. It aims to see if this method can safely monitor how well your baby is tolerating the transfusion.
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.
