An arrangement for the neuropostural and sensorial suspension of the premature newborn in incubators, comprising a support for receiving the newborn and connected to an actuator, such that the support is suspended inside the incubator compartment, surrounding the premature newborn so that the newborn is kept in a position similar to that in which it was in the uterus thus allowing its harmonious intrauterine development.

A bassinet configured to prevent and treat plagiocephaly of an infant via an automated pivoting floor platform (bed) via an actuating motor disposed of in communication with a controlling timer, a power source, and at least one support. The motor is preferably insulated to ensure a quiet operation, minimizing the possibility of waking the infant during use. A soothing sound machine is preferably integrated into the apparatus and may be optionally activated at the user's will for a more restful sleep. The floor platform is preferably configured to tilt 15-20 degrees to either side, slowly, in an oscillating manner in intervals of 15 minutes. Straps present in communication with the floor platform and/or side walls of the bassinet facilitate the connection of a swaddle or onesie to the floor platform, ensuring the infant remains in position even when tilted. Tilting of the head is allowed, preventing flatting of the head in a single area due to the automatic movement of the head during the sleep session.

Devices, systems, and methods described herein can provide a simulated fluid environment similar to the mother's womb to recreate an ideal or more familiar environment for infants who are born before their ideal due date. In some embodiments, the premature infant amniotic bath incubator can comprise an incubating tank with synthetic or simulated amniotic fluid, a heating element(s), a temperature sensor(s), and/or thermostat(s) for temperature regulation.

A mobile newborn care bed is configured to be positioned at a delivery location of an infant includes a bassinet containing a mattress for receiving the infant and a frame that supports the bassinet. At least two capacitive sensors are incorporated in the mattress that record cardiac signals, and an on-bed computing system is configured to receive the cardiac signals and determine a heart rate for the infant. A battery supported by the frame powers the on-bed computing system, and a digital display is communicatively connected to the on-bed computing system and displays the heart rate.

A sterilization and humidification apparatus includes a heating chamber, a filter and a humidification chamber. The heating chamber heats a gas so as to sterilize the gas. The humidification chamber is adapted so that a liquid, which has been filtered by the filter, evaporates into the sterilized gas, thereby causing the sterilized gas to cool, and outputting a humidified gas at a desired temperature. The apparatus may include a bypass chamber to provide a path for the gas to bypass the humidification chamber. The apparatus may be adapted particularly for use in an incubator.

An infant care station can include sensors to detect an environmental characteristic of the infant care station, an access point to access a microenvironment of the infant care station, and a processor to obtain a sealed measurement for the infant care station with the access point in a sealed position. The processor can also obtain the environmental characteristic from sensors monitoring the microenvironment. Additionally, the processor can determine a difference between the environmental characteristic and the sealed measurement and generate an alert indicating an access point sealing issue based on the difference exceeding a predetermined threshold.
