According to him, this resulted in the distribution of more than 50 SAANS devices among the medical colleges in Assam, with more deployments to district hospitals now ongoing.
Digital Desk: As a consequence of the success
of a pilot project to reduce neonatal mortality with specialized equipment, or
"SAANS," authorities said on Thursday that the Assam government has
decided to use the air pressure machine created by a Bangalore-based start-up
across its hospitals.
With the portable neonatal Continuous
Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) device "SAANS," infants can receive
essential breathing assistance both in a hospital setting and when travelling.
According to a Senior Representative of the
firm InnAccel Technologies, during pilot research on a small sample of babies
at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, the gadget produced "great
outcomes."
According to him, this resulted in the
distribution of more than 50 SAANS devices among the medical colleges in Assam,
with more deployments to district hospitals now ongoing.
InnAccel
Technologies, which was incubated at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms
(C-CAMP), worked with the SAMRIDH Healthcare Blended Finance Facility to
develop the device in order to boost respiratory assistance for babies and
pediatric populations in Assam.
