How a 'swimming cap' could transform care for brain-injured babies

Researches have developed a cutting-edge "swimming cap" using light and ultrasound technology to monitor brain activity in babies, potentially revolutionizing care for brain-injured newborns. This innovative cap, trialed at the Rosie Maternity Hospital in Cambridge, aims to provide faster diagnosis and treatment for conditions like cerebral palsy and epilepsy. By enabling more frequent and comfortable monitoring, this portable device could improve early identification of problems and prompt interventions, offering hope for better outcomes for infants with brain injuries.
