This is also important for the long term, as pain and physical stress in neonates negatively influences their developing brain^MO. The absence of skin adhesives lowers the risk of infections associated with skin damage and hence reduces morbidity^CAPO.

Wireless neonatal vital signs monitoring also simplifies Family Integrated Care and Kangaroo Care in particular, which positively affects the physical health of newborns^{COFRMCMBOBPTNY}. We envision that babies monitored with the Bambi Belt - which enables accurate monitoring of neonates' vital signs - will have an impact on the number of days that these babies stay in the hospital.

Parents are easier to guide and are more able to take over care tasks, as they are less stressed from seeing and handling the wires attached to their baby. Wireless NICU monitoring thus may help to promote Family Integrated Care.

And when babies cannot pull the monitoring wires, the number of false alarms would reduce. That saves time for nurses and reduces anxiety in parents.

But most importantly, the dEMG method used by Bambi Belt for apnea detection is proven to be more accurate (detection of central apnea) than the chest impedance method^KR2.

The comfort of the Bambi Belt, that features dry sensors, that do not stick to the skin is not only beneficial for the patient but also saves time for the nurses. No more time is needed to carefully remove the adhesive electrodes in order to avoid pain.
