Non-contact video-based neonatal respiratory monitoring.
Respiratory rate (RR) has been shown to be a reliable predictor of cardio-pulmonary deterioration, but standard RR monitoring methods in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) with contact leads have been related to iatrogenic complications. This iterative design study developed a novel algorithm that produced RR from footage analyzed from stable NICU patients in open cribs with corrected gestational ages ranging from 33 to 40 weeks. The final algorithm used a proprietary technique of micromotion and stationarity detection to model background noise to be able to amplify and record respiratory motions.

Supporting parents of premature infants transitioning from the NICU to home: a pilot randomized control trial of a smartphone application.
This study determined whether parents of Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) transitioning home with the NICU-2-Home smartphone application have greater parenting self-efficacy, are better prepared for discharge and have shorter length of stay (LOS) than control parents. It found that a smartphone application can improve parenting self-efficacy, discharge preparedness, and LOS with improved benefits based on usage.
