Description
FIOTEC's "Preemie Test" is a small, cost-effective, non-invasive device which uses light sensors to read backscattering luminescence off babies' skin, to diagnose premature and low birth weights. The project aims to aid birth attendants and lay caregivers at point of care, replacing expensive obstetric ultrasounds and complex neonatal maturity scoring, while enabling caregivers to act quickly in low- and middle-income countries (such as Tanzania, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Brazil), and refer low birthweight newborns to critical care
