Together with the Máxima Medical Center (MMC), Eindhoven University of Technology has developed a prototype wireless ‘baby jacket’ for very premature babies in intensive care units. The jacket, which includes monitoring sensors, is comfortable to wear and was designed to reduce the baby’s stress and make it easier for the parents to hold their baby outside the incubator. This is expected to benefit the later development of the baby. Industrial Design engineer Sibrecht Bouwstra received her PhD cum laude on 30 October for her “smart jacket” design.
