A Framework to Evaluate Feasibility, Safety, and Accuracy of Wireless Sensors in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Oxygen Saturation Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring vital signs in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) typically relies on wired skin sensors, which can limit mobility, cause skin issues, and interfere with parent-infant bonding. Wireless sensors offer promising alternatives, but evaluations to date often emphasize accuracy alone, lack NICU-specific validation, and rarely use standardized frameworks. Our objective was to develop and apply a comprehensive framework for evaluating the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of wireless monitoring technologies using a wireless pulse oximeter, the Anne limb (Sibel Health, USA), in real-world NICU conditions. A prospective study was conducted on a diverse NICU population. A custom system enabled synchronized data recordings from both standard and wireless devices. Feasibility was assess
