A modelling approach to studying variations in newborn life support procedure (2023)
Journal Article

Variations in clinical practice are common. However, some variations may cause undesired consequences. Careful consideration of their causes and effects is necessary to assure the quality of healthcare delivery. A modelling approach that could captur...

Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care (2023)
Journal Article

Heart rate is an extremely important physiological parameter to measure in critically unwell infants, as it is the main physiological marker that changes in response to a change in infant condition. Heart rate is routinely measured peripherally on a... Read More about Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care.

Feasibility of a Novel ECG Electrode Placement Method in Newborn Infants (2022)
Journal Article

Background: International newborn resuscitation guidelines recommend electrocardiogram (ECG) heart rate (HR) monitoring at birth. We evaluated the application time of pre-set ECG electrodes fixed to a polyethene patch allowing adhesive-free attachmen... Read More about Feasibility of a Novel ECG Electrode Placement Method in Newborn Infants.

Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise (2021)
Journal Article

Transferring sick premature infants between hospitals increases the risk of severe brain injury, potentially linked to the excessive exposure to noise, vibration and driving-related accelerations. One method of reducing these levels may be to travel... Read More about Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise.

Accurate neonatal heart rate monitoring using a new wireless, cap mounted device (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors. Acta Paediatrica published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Foundation Acta Paediatrica Aim: A device for newborn heart rate (HR) monitoring at birth that is compatible with delayed cord clamping and minimises hypothermia r...

Development of a Clinical Interface for a Novel Newborn Resuscitation Device: Human Factors Approach to Understanding Cognitive User Requirements (2019)
Journal Article

Background: A novel medical device has been developed to address an unmet need of standardizing and facilitating heart rate recording during neonatal resuscitation. In a time-critical emergency resuscitation, where failure can mean death of an infant...

Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer (2017)
Journal Article

© Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Inter-hospital transport of premature infants is increasingly common, given the centralisation of neonatal intensive care. However, it is known to be associated with anomalously increased morbidity, most notably... Read More about Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer.

An automated quasi-continuous capillary refill timing device (2015)
Journal Article

Capillary refill time (CRT) is a simple means of cardiovascular assessment which is widely used in clinical care. Currently, CRT is measured through manual assessment of the time taken for skin tone to return to normal colour following blanching of t...

Forehead reflectance photoplethysmography to monitor heart rate: preliminary results from neonatal patients (2014)
Journal Article

Around 5%–10% of newborn babies require some form of resuscitation at birth and heart rate (HR) is the best guide of efficacy. We report the development and first trial of a device that continuously monitors neonatal HR, with a view to deployment in...
