Immediate diagnosis at Birth - The Preemie Test
17/11/2021
The Preemie Test, invented by a Brazilian obstetrician and an astrophysicist, uses the measurement of skin reflection, obtained through a handheld optoelectronic device, to estimate a newborn's gestational age and assess lung maturity. This device will set a new standard for measuring prematurity at birth, with implications for the care of mothers and newborns. The Preemie Test is marketed by MATERNOVA.
