The device helps reduce the neonatal intensive care unit length of stay and utilises the company’s patented technology to enhance NNS proficiency.
For reducing the time to achieve full oral feeding, the device will support proper suck-swallow-breathe coordination in premature infants.
The device leverages real-time assessment technology to provide clinicians with objective data for monitoring infant development in pre-feeding skills.
Furthermore, it provides parents with confidence regarding their infants’ advancement and potential for thriving post-discharge.
