NICU and ICU Monitoring
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and Intensive Care Units (ICU) are specialized hospital departments focused on the continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill newborns and adults, respectively. These units employ advanced medical technologies to manage life-threatening conditions, ensuring real-time tracking of vital signs and neurological function.
In the NICU, the primary goal is to support underdeveloped or ill newborns, while in the ICU, the goal is to help patients recovering from surgery or severe illnesses. Accurate, high-quality monitoring systems are crucial for timely decision-making, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
Setup Requirements and Technological Challenges
NICU and ICU monitoring setups require non-invasive, highly sensitive equipment to capture continuous data in challenging environments. The delicate condition of patients, especially neonates, makes it essential to minimize patient discomfort while ensuring reliable and secured EEG acquisition.
Common technological challenges include:
- Simplicity of the hardware/software setup
- Dealing with electrical noise
- Stability of the EEG signal during long-term recordings
- Managing data from multiple monitoring devices simultaneously
- Patients’ data protection and safety
Our Solutions
The simplest, real-time monitoring solution for clinical workflows could consist of an all-in-one computer with two individual components: an EEG amplifier and a medical computer.
We have two medically certified solutions, nёo™ and eego™ solution, that address common challenges:
- Simple acquisition software allows doctors and nurses to record and review data while keeping it protected with the password
- An insulated with the IP65 standard acquisition monitor
- A sensitive signal amplifier with a simple cap connector
- Possibility for subcutaneous/traditional EEG sensors
- Long EEG cables that protect analog brain signals with an active shielding technology
