This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing a new wireless sensor that measures oxygen levels in a baby's brain. The wireless device would be placed on the forehead alongside the standard wired sensor that newborns in intensive care already use. This study will help doctors understand whether the wireless version works as well as the traditional wired one.
The current wired brain-monitoring sensors need to be removed frequently during standard newborn care (like skin checks), which can interrupt the data being collected. A wireless version could reduce these disruptions and make monitoring easier for both babies and caregivers while keeping skin safe.

If your baby is enrolled, the wireless sensor will be placed on the forehead for 4 hours each day over 2 consecutive days, right alongside the sensor already in use. The research team will carefully monitor the sensor and your baby's skin, removing and reapplying the device during routine care checks, just as the standard sensor is handled. Your role is to allow the research team to observe how well the wireless device performs compared to the standard wired one.
