Breath of life: This medical tech startup is healing newborns with asphyxia through a cooling device

Quick Summary:

Bengaluru-based Sensivision Health Technologies strives to save the lives of newborns and minimise the risk of brain damage due to birth asphyxia using a therapeutic cooling device—which cools the baby, slows down metabolism, and gives the brain time to heal.

According to medical practitioners, when there isn’t sufficient oxygen, the baby’s body temperature is lowered, within six hours of birth, to slow down metabolism and other bodily functions.

The device is said to have saved the lives of around 250 newborns.“Smaller cities and villages are where complications occur more due to lack of follow-up with the mother during pregnancy,” says Unni.
