Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) affects a large proportion of babies and accessing infant lung function has, until now, been an invasive procedure. VoluSense is a tidal breathing assessment system, which evaluates volume changes in a baby’s lungs. The system is composed of a vest, as opposed to the usual facemask, and an electromagnetic sensor, which records a newborn’s breathing. The vest is worn around the chest and waist with coils integrated into the garment, which track changes in breathing patterns. The vest is a one-time-use piece made of soft elastic and hypoallergenic material – a stark contrast to the heavy or intrusive monitoring methods of the past. Using VoluSense takes about 5 to 10 minutes, making the experience for the baby, as well as the parents as stress-free as possible. The benefit of this is to record natural breathing patterns giving accurate real-time results on the bedside monitor.
