A wireless and miniaturized vital sign (ECG, SpO2, Skin Temperature) sensor system, MicroPremVitals Button Sensors was developed by the Dr. John Rogers Laboratory (QSIB- Northwestern University, Chicago, USA) to facilitate vital sign monitoring in extremely preterm neonates.
Infants admitted to the NICU with a gestational age of ≥ 22+0 weeks and ≤ 29+6 weeks at birth,
AND >72h of age at time of study,
AND clinically stable,
AND with the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (i.e., NNP) and Healthcare Team in agreement for the patient to participate in the study.
Infants with a skin abnormality that would potentially increase the risk of injury,
