What Is Telebaby?

ScienceRoll

There are more and more premature babies, and the situation for their parents is dramatic. They would love to be with their newborn 24 hours a day, but in most cases they obviously can’t.


At the Dutch UMC Ultrecht, they’ve launched a project under the name Telebaby, in which cameras were installed at the incubators and parents can watch their child live 24 hours a day — even through a mobile device.


The system is password protected, of course, so only the parents can access the specific video channels. Isna??t it great? A very human but not that expensive idea — a really Dutch approach.
