Why it’s important

Birth asphyxia is the third leading cause of neonatal death causing approximately 1-2 million deaths each year, 96% of them in low and middle-income countries.

“Successful resuscitation could prevent a large proportion of these deaths and improve the outcomes of neonates surviving asphyxia.”

What it does​

NeoTap is a low-cost, rapid and accurate alternative method for monitoring HR during neonatal resuscitation. It uses a screen-tapping-method to give health staff the newborns heart and breathing rate. No probes need to be attached to the baby. The Tap4Life team and other teams have performed studies to show the methods accuracy.
