Wireless MicroPremVitals Button Sensor in the NICU

A wireless and miniaturized vital sign (ECG, SpO2, Skin Temperature) sensor system, MicroPremVitals Button Sensors was developed by the Dr. John Rogers Laboratory (QSIB- Northwestern University, Chicago, USA) to facilitate vital sign monitoring in extremely preterm neonates.
