Family holding, or skin-to-skin contact, has been proven to provide numerous health benefits for both mothers and babies.
Clinicians hesitate to allow child holding for NICU infants, fearing dislodgement of the attached critical key lines that could put the child in critical condition.
We believe parents should be able to safely hold their children in NICUs, and we strive to develop a device to secure these lines with guidance from Novonate.
This project encompasses conducting a user needs assessment, prototyping and designing a medical device, and developing the business strategy.
