Our team has evalutated NeoTapLS (life support) in one manikin-study in Sweden and one clinical study at Mulago Referral Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. Abstracts have been presented at many conferences both in Europe, Africa and the United States.

Our second article on NeoTapLS is published in the medical journal BMJ Paediatrics Open https://bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/4/1/e000688. See link for full article Open Access.
NeoTapLS is mentioned as one possible way to assess heart rates in neonates in a review from October 2019 reference 3 below, doi: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2019.07.018.
