Innovations like the SurePulse VS take this a step further, combining thermal protection with cutting-edge heart rate monitoring, giving clinical teams accurate data during those critical first moments of life. Read more about the recommendation here: https://t.co/UTrMiSLTc6
After reviewing research, ILCOR found that not using a cap on a newborn's head at birth increases the risk of hypothermia upon admission to the NICU. This simple step, adding a cap, can help maintain a baby’s normal temperature, which is crucial for reducing adverse outcomes.
The Impact of Admission Temperature on Very Preterm Infants.
A nationwide study in Norway has confirmed that lower admission temperatures in very preterm infants significantly increase mortality and morbidity risks.
Implementing standardized temperature-preserving measures & continuous monitoring could enhance neonatal care & reduce risks for preterm infants.
SurePulse is pioneering continuous temperature monitoring, developing a wireless solution to enhance newborn stabilisation.
Optimal cord clamping (OCC) offers vital benefits for newborns—improved oxygenation, higher iron stores, and better cardiovascular stability. Yet, in critical moments, ensuring a baby’s well-being while keeping the cord intact can be challenging.
With SurePulse VS wireless heart rate monitoring, we provide provide accurate, reliable, and timely information in the critical moments after birth.
✅ Real-time heart rate monitoring while the cord remains intact
✅ Supporting clinical decision-making without premature CC
The SurePulse VS has the potential to be a significant advancement in the way neonatal patients are monitored. Read the full study here: https://t.co/u1nrkKk7HI #MedicalInnovation#NewbornCare
Measuring heart rate is crucial for critically unwell newborn infants, but traditional limb-based pulse oximeters can struggle when blood flow shifts to vital organs. As a forehead-based PPG sensor, the SurePulse VS offers a promising alternative!
A study comparing forehead vs. wrist sensors in 19 NICU infants (198 hours of data) found strong agreement between the two, with:
✅ 98.87% positive percentage agreement
✅ High correlation (Spearman’s 0.9816)
✅ Reliable accuracy for vital sign monitoring
Last year we shared the findings of an independent review by the UK Department of Health & Social Care which highlighted concerns about racial bias in medical devices, particularly in pulse oximeters.
In neonatal care, accurate monitoring is vital. That’s why SurePulse VS stands out—designed to provide precise and reliable heart rate monitoring for newborns, regardless of skin tone. This innovation ensures equitable and optimal care for all babies from birth.

Dr Anne Maire Heuchan Consultant Neonatologist at Glasgow Children’s Hospital discusses the benefits of parents having a first cuddle with their baby in the delivery room and kangaroo care in the neonatal intensive care unit.
On #InternationalNursesDay, we recognise the vital role of ANNPs in delivering specialist neonatal care and supporting families from the very first moments of life.
Wireless monitoring is helping make early delivery room cuddles easier by supporting safe parent–baby contact while maintaining continuous monitoring.
