Indian Engineers Create Life-Saving Wearable for Newborns

Indian Engineers Create Life-Saving Wearable for Newborns

Indian engineers have created a special sock-like device called NemoCare Raksha to help monitor newborn babies.

This device is worn on the baby's foot and checks important signs like heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels.

It sends this information to nurses so they can quickly help if something is wrong.

The device is designed to work in places where there aren't many doctors or expensive machines, like small hospitals and government clinics.

It has already helped over 20,000 babies in India.

The engineers got the idea after seeing how hard it is to take care of newborns, especially those born too early.

They worked with doctors and hospitals to make sure the device works well and is easy to use.

The device is also being improved with artificial intelligence to predict when a baby might get sick.

This invention is making it easier and cheaper to take care of newborns, especially those who are born early or are very small.
