Some from medicine and some from electronics, contributors describenew approaches to monitoring the vital physiological parameters ofpremature infants and full term infants that are critically ill.

The topics include smart textiles that allow unobtrusivemonitoring in the NICU, neonatal infrared thermography monitoring,autonomic cardiovascular regulation in the newborn, the value ofautomated analysis of the electroencephalogram in monitoring braindevelopment in preterm infants, smart jacket design for improving thecomfort of neonatal monitoring, and designing remote connectednessbetween parents and their premature newly born.
