Pediatric Tracking & Safety Device for NICUs

Category: Neonatal Care | Hospital IoT | Patient Safety

Status: Prototype → Hospital Workflow Integration

Project Impact

Elevates neonatal safety by combining real-time infant tracking, monitoring intelligence, and proactive alerting within NICU environments.

NICU Tracking

The Challenge

Neonatal Intensive Care Units require continuous vigilance to prevent infant misplacement, medical errors, and delayed response to distress. Manual monitoring increases nursing workload and introduces risk.

369 Innovations Solution

We designed a non-invasive, skin-safe wearable tag for neonates that enables real-time location tracking, integration with NICU equipment, and automated safety alerts—without interfering with infant comfort.

Key Features

  • Ultra-light, skin-safe wearable design
  • Real-time location tracking within NICU zones
  • Integration with incubators and monitoring systems
  • Automated alerts for unauthorized movement or distress

Outcomes

  • Enhanced infant safety and security
  • Reduced nursing workload through automation
  • Improved compliance with NICU safety protocols

Impact

Raises the standard of neonatal safety and care intelligence by transforming NICUs into proactive, connected, and data-driven care environments.
