Remote method to monitor apnea gives premature babies an easier time

Apnea, a sudden interruption in the respiratory flow, affects both adults and children. Especially premature babies, whose respiratory system has not yet fully developed, suffer from it. In collaboration with Máxima Medical Center and Philips, TU/e researcher Ilde Lorato has developed a new method to monitor apnea without causing unnecessary harm for the infants involved, such as skin damage. The new approach uses thermal cameras, image processing software and even a smart soother. Lorato will defend her Ph.D. research on Friday 19 November.
