Project description

The main goal of this project is a neonatal fully automated and continuous build brain observation instrument (Neoguard) that can be used in daily practice in the following patient groups (1) a term born babies with intrapartale asphyxia the NeoGuard the indication for therapy (cooling) can steal, and also the prognosis can refine by brain imaging, and (2) a term-born babies with convulsions (eg patients with bleeding), wherein NeoGuard immediately gives alarm at convulsions. It then provides information about the location and the severity of the brain damage, and can objectively determine the amount of attacks.
