What can CALMER technology do for babies who are born preterm?
In this episode, I feature the work from a group of researchers at the University of British Columbia who took on a 10-year technological challenge: how to simulate key aspects of maternal skin-to-skin holding for prematurely born babies. And they succeeded. With CALMER technology, moms felt at ease. They perceived CALMER not as a threat but as an ally in maintaining the maternal bond.
