Researchers at Rice use MediCollector to Test Their Novel Temperature Monitor in Malawi, Africa

Recently, a group of researchers from Rice University developed a novel neonatal temperature monitoring system for use in low-resource settings.  To test and validate their new system, they brought it to a hospital in Malawi, working in collaboration with the University of Malawi, and used MediCollector BEDSIDE to compare data from their device to a standard Philips patient monitor.  Learn more about this interesting work in their publication in BMJ Pediatrics Open.
