Measuring heart rate is crucial for critically unwell newborn infants, but traditional limb-based pulse oximeters can struggle when blood flow shifts to vital organs. As a forehead-based PPG sensor, the SurePulse VS offers a promising alternative!

A study comparing forehead vs. wrist sensors in 19 NICU infants (198 hours of data) found strong agreement between the two, with:
✅ 98.87% positive percentage agreement
✅ High correlation (Spearman’s 0.9816)
✅ Reliable accuracy for vital sign monitoring

The SurePulse VS has the potential to be a significant advancement in the way neonatal patients are monitored. Read the full study here: https://buff.ly/gpR4Q7B

Last week we completed a very valuable usability study at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, evaluating our new multi-parameter wireless monitoring technology for the delivery room.

The insights and feedback gathered were incredibly valuable and will directly inform the next stages of development as we continue to design technology that truly supports clinical teams and newborn babies.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, and to the fantastic clinical staff at QMC for their time, expertise, and enthusiasm. Collaboration like this is essential to meaningful innovation.

Last year we shared new research on the use of polythene bags in maintaining normothermia in preterm babies during optimal cord clamping (OCC).

Despite placing babies in polythene bags before OCC, the study found no increase in normothermia on NICU admission. Alarmingly, 35% were hypothermic and 10% hyperthermic, underscoring the challenge of maintaining stable temperatures during DCC.

🔍 The study highlights the need for more individualised thermal care strategies, as OCC may delay access to radiant heat.

At SurePulse, we’re focused on advancing newborn care during this critical window. Our SurePulse VS Cap offers:
✔️ Wireless, accurate heart rate monitoring
✔️ Thermo-protective, single-use design
✔️ Real-time data to support stabilisation and bonding during DCC

This research strengthens the case for better tools to support safe and effective OCC in preterm infants. Read the full article: https://buff.ly/kO5LkQD

How much oxygen should we start with when resuscitating extremely preterm infants?

A major new randomized clinical trial published in JAMA provides important clarity.

The TORPIDO 30/60 Trial studied 1,469 infants born at 23–28 weeks’ gestation across 31 hospitals in 6 countries, comparing initial resuscitation with FiO₂ 0.6 vs FiO₂ 0.3.

Key findings:

󠁯•󠁏󠁏 No difference in risk of death or brain injury at 36 weeks’ corrected gestational age
(46.9% vs 47.8%)
󠁯•󠁏󠁏 Similar need for escalation to FiO₂ 1.0 in both groups
󠁯•󠁏󠁏 Outcomes were consistent across this large, international cohort

What this means:
Starting resuscitation with a higher oxygen concentration (FiO₂ 0.6) did not improve outcomes compared with FiO₂ 0.3, reinforcing the importance of careful oxygen titration rather than higher initial exposure.

2025 has been a pivotal year for SurePulse.

This year, our team reached several major milestones, including successfully delivering two significant grant-funded projects which involved running clinical investigations of our next-generation neonatal monitoring devices with newborn babies.

We also:

⬩ Completed a neonatal simulation study in collaboration with Glasgow Children’s Hospital, strengthening the evidence behind how our technology performs in real-world resuscitation scenarios

⬩ Secured further funding to advance development of our new user interface and display, shaped by direct clinician feedback (with thanks to Medilink and Nottingham City Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) 2023–2025)

⬩ Won a national award alongside the University of Nottingham for 'Collaboration Between Academia and Industry', bringing engineers, clinicians, researchers and families together around one shared goal: better monitoring in the most critical moments of life.

We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved in 2025 and deeply grateful to our team, clinical partners, funders and the families who made this work possible.

Onwards to 2026, with even more innovation ahead.

Optimal care for newborn babies in the first few ‘golden’ minutes after birth is critical to prevent significant illness or even death. A rise in heart rate is the most important indicator of effective ventilation and response to resuscitation interventions (Aziz et al, 2020), however current monitoring methods fall short, risking over treatment . The SurePulse VS Cap comprises an optical sensor integrated into a thermo-protective single-use cap which has been designed to provide clinical teams with accurate, reliable, and timely heart rate information in the critical moments after birth.

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommends covering a newborn’s head with a cap in their latest guidance.
After reviewing research, ILCOR found that not using a cap on a newborn's head at birth increases the risk of hypothermia upon admission to the NICU. This simple step, adding a cap, can help maintain a baby’s normal temperature, which is crucial for reducing adverse outcomes.

Innovations like the SurePulse VS take this a step further, combining thermal protection with cutting-edge heart rate monitoring, giving clinical teams accurate data during those critical first moments of life. Read more about the recommendation here: https://buff.ly/3BcAOlr

This Wednesday, we’ll be working with the West of Scotland Innovation Hub at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, working with clinical teams to run a simulation study using our new multi-parameter neonatal monitoring device.

Collaborating in clinical environments helps ensure our technology truly supports patients, parents, and frontline care teams.

We’re incredibly grateful to Medilink and the Nottingham City Council Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) 2023–2025 for their support of this project.

A multi-cohort analysis led by Yanlin Zhou et al. (Warwick, UK), presented at jENS 2025, highlights the long-term socioeconomic impact of being born very preterm (VPT) or with very low birth weight (VLBW).

The analysis shows that although many VPT/VLBW individuals transition into adulthood similarly to term-born peers, they continue to face lower educational attainment, reduced employment participation, and increased reliance on social benefits.

The strongest predictor of these challenges? Neurosensory Impairment (NSI)—increasing the likelihood of social benefit use nearly sevenfold. But even those without NSI remain at elevated risk.

The takeaway: Early interventions in the NICU that reduce medical complications, along with enhanced educational support throughout childhood, may help mitigate long-term socioeconomic disparities for individuals born VPT/VLBW.
