Smart Incubators Help Save Premature Babies in Russia
St. Petersburg’s perinatal center has introduced intelligent systems to monitor the condition of low-birth-weight newborns.
St. Petersburg City Perinatal Center No. 1 has been equipped with advanced intelligent incubators. The domestically produced equipment monitors premature babies around the clock and automatically maintains optimal conditions for their development. This marks an important step in the digital transformation of Russia’s healthcare system.
The incubators form a closed, adaptive ecosystem for neonatal care. They regulate temperature and humidity, continuously track key health indicators, and transmit all data to medical staff. This allows doctors to respond immediately to any changes in a child’s condition.
Proven Effectiveness
Once a baby’s condition stabilizes, the child is transferred together with the mother to a ward that is also equipped with these incubators. According to Olga Kireeva, head of the neonatal pathology department, this approach helps accelerate immune system development through natural contact and strengthens psychological bonding.
Successful cases involving infants with extremely low birth weight, such as a baby weighing 590 grams treated at St. Petersburg Children’s Hospital No. 1, demonstrate the effectiveness of Russian medical technologies.
