Description of impact
“Family-centered care innovations for the first 1000 days of life”The first 1000 days of
life start with conception and are followed by the prenatal(pregnancy),
delivery (child-birth), and neonatal (newborn) phases. All phases are very
different in nature and yield important needs and opportunities for
technology-based innovation. In the unique collaboration between hospital, university
and industry, e/MTIC focuses on non-invasive monitoring techniques and on
educational simulators. These focal points are intertwined via common work on
physiological models. They match naturally to the available expertise of the
partners and to several important wheels that are already in motion. Last but
not least, they foreshadow an important innovation potential, scientifically,
clinically, and commercially. All projects contribute to our family-centered
care innovation vision.
Our themes:
o Pregnancy monitoring:
Pregnancy and delivery are risky phases in the
life of mother and child. Key health risks include premature delivery and poor
placenta function, which are both potentially lethal to the fetus or can lead
to life-long disabilities. Current monitoring techniques leave much to be
desired: they frequently fail to detect critical risks yet also lead to many
unnecesary interventions. Moreover they are only sparsely available (20-week
echo, antenatal visits, delivery) so that risks that develop in between are
likely to go undetected. Our aim is to a) strongly improve the dependability of
pregnancy monitoring (especially Doppler ultrasound), and b) to make a step
towards continuous monitoring (by analyzing electrical signals recording on the
maternal abdomen).
o Neonatal monitoring & simulation:
The Neonatal Monitoring & Simulation program
line develops new techniques for safe and quiet care of the newborn,
facilitating family-centered care and mother-child bonding, in order to improve
patient outcome. We focus on the development of new parameters and on
unobtrusive measurement ways of these parameters. Moreover, we investigate
techniques for predictive monitoring using big data. To investigate the effects
of clinical interventions on neonatal outcome, we develop simulation
(mathematical and physical) models. The models are primarily used for the
formulation of hypotheses, that are then tested in a clinical setting.
o Family health:
In the Parents & Kids program line we
investigate the perinatal period. Being pregnant, delivery and neonatal care
are not separate events, they are part of continuum of professional-care and
self-care that starts with the desire to have a child to bringing the child up,
and supporting the best development possible. We aim for a holistic solution, where
services are accessible and relevant for professionals, parents, the child and
his family in different contexts and time. We investigate and design
product-service systems, and address the complexity, growth and openness of
these systems. Special attention is paid to ensure meaningful experiences in
this domain for the different end-users.
