Baby incubator
An incubator maintains an environment suitable for neonates by heating and humidifying air. It is used in preterm births or for ill full-term babies. The incubator heats air which passes over water, increasing humidity before flowing into the baby compartment. A thermostat regulates the temperature. The incubator monitors the baby's temperature, respiration, oxygen levels, and more to care for premature or sick infants.
Incubators
An incubator maintains the body temperature of premature newborns through controlled temperature air passed through a chamber housing the baby. The temperature is regulated using a proportional control system that compares the air temperature using a thermistor to a set temperature point. If the air is lower than the set point, a heater is activated in proportion to the difference to precisely control the temperature and minimize overshooting. Some incubators measure skin temperature directly and use radiant warmers with low walls and a heated element above to focus heat on the baby if its surface needs exposure. They also have apnea monitors to sound alarms if respiration ceases for too long.
Infant Radiant Warmer
The NWS warmers provide radiant warmth to treat infants suffering from severe heat loss. It is suitable for all environments, from labour rooms to neonatal ICUs. It provides quality care at affordable cost.
The NWS 101 is backed with by the many years of experience of PHOENIX has in designing and supplying sophisticated neonatal care equipment worldwide.
The Phoenix NWS 101 comes with an option of an attached bed or choosing a bassinet of your choice.
Radiant Warmers and Incubators
This document discusses radiant warmers and incubators used in neonatal care. Radiant warmers use overhead heating elements to provide infrared radiation and maintain a warm microenvironment for the infant. Incubators provide closed environments that reduce heat and moisture losses through conduction, radiation, and evaporation. Both systems aim to control the infant's temperature, but radiant warmers allow for more access while incubators better regulate the environment and reduce infection risks. Precautions must be taken with both to avoid overheating or hypothermia in fragile neonatal patients.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy, also known as light therapy is a therapeutic method that is done with the non-ionizing portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The objective of phototherapy is to heal a clinical condition, minimizing the adverse effects. Light contains energy in the form of photons. Light absorbing molecules or chromophores can utilize the light energy can make a certain change.
Sunlight is known to have a healing power from the ancient times. With this concept, by the development of modern science, the power of artificial light has been using in treating certain clinical conditions such as given as in dermatitis, psoriasis, common acne, eczema, seasonal affective disorders, vitiligo, neonatal jaundice, circardian rhythm disorders etc. Modern phototherapy light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, halogen spotlight, fibre-optic system, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and etc.

Incubator
An incubator is a heated and humidified apparatus used to maintain an appropriate environmental temperature for newborn infants, especially those who are premature or sick. It allows close monitoring and helps regulate an infant's temperature. To use an incubator, it is first pre-heated to the desired temperature as prescribed by the physician. The undressed infant is then placed inside and the temperature is monitored hourly and compared to the infant's axillary or rectal temperature. Any abnormal temperatures should be reported.
phototherapy
Phototherapy uses visible light to treat hyperbilirubinemia in infants by converting unconjugated bilirubin to a form that can be excreted from the body. It works by causing oxidation and photoisomerization of bilirubin. Phototherapy units contain fluorescent lamps that expose the infant's skin to blue light. Proper phototherapy involves monitoring the infant's temperature, feeding, hydration, and bilirubin levels during the procedure.

Pulse oximeter
A pulse oximeter measures oxygen saturation in the blood by using light to detect the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to deoxygenated hemoglobin. It shines red and infrared light through a finger and detects how much light is absorbed, since oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin absorb different wavelengths differently. By measuring the ratio of absorbed red and infrared light, it can calculate the oxygen saturation percentage. Normal saturation is 97-99% and pulse oximeters are commonly used in medical settings like operating rooms, ICUs, and emergency departments to continuously monitor patients.
Presentation Slide on mercury thermometer
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in the 17th century. Mercury thermometers use mercury as the temperature-sensitive liquid because mercury is a rapid conductor of heat that expands linearly with temperature and has a low freezing point and high boiling point. Mercury thermometers are used to measure fever, food temperatures, room temperatures, and temperatures in industrial processes and liquids. They are inexpensive, durable, and accurate but have disadvantages such as being harder to read, not working below -39°C, and mercury vapor being poisonous.
MRI Procedure and Preparation
An MRI scan is a painless procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. Preparation may involve changing into loose, metal-free clothing and avoiding food, drink, smoking, and medications containing caffeine for several hours prior. During the scan, the patient lies still inside the MRI machine while images are taken, which can take 15-90 minutes. After the scan, the patient can resume normal activities unless sedated, in which case they should avoid driving or drinking for 24 hours.

The document describes the slit lamp biomicroscope, an instrument used to examine the anterior segment of the eye. It consists of an illumination system that produces a focused beam of light, an observation system using a microscope, and a mechanical system to support the patient and control the device. Various techniques can be used like diffuse illumination, retroillumination and vital staining to examine different ocular structures. Proper maintenance of the device is important to ensure optimal performance.
phototherapy device
This document presents information on phototherapy devices used to treat various medical conditions. Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to fluorescent light to treat conditions like jaundice, vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema, and acne. It summarizes the use of phototherapy to treat neonatal jaundice by converting bilirubin into a water soluble form removed through urine. A typical phototherapy device consists of electrically powered lights on a height adjustable stand with lockable wheels and power switch. It could be adapted for home care by locally producing lower cost alternatives.
SLIT LAMP AND ITS DIFFERENT ILLUMINATION TECHNIQUES.pptx
This presentation explains in detail about different illumination techniques and filters used in slit lamp examination and the procedure to perform slit lamp examination.
3lab fluoroscopy
This document discusses fluoroscopy and image intensifiers. It explains that fluoroscopy uses X-rays to produce real-time moving images on a monitor, allowing doctors to see the movement of body parts in detail. It describes how image intensifiers work, using a photocathode and phosphors to convert X-ray photons into many more visible light photons, increasing image brightness. This allows fluoroscopy to be performed without needing total darkness and long adaptation times. The document provides examples of medical procedures that use fluoroscopy like cardiac catheterization and orthography.
INFRARED RADIATION ppt 1 new.pdf
Infrared radiation lies between visible light and microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. It can be subdivided based on wavelength. There are two main types of infrared generators used in physiotherapy - luminous generators which emit infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet rays, and non-luminous generators which only emit infrared rays. Luminous generators penetrate less deeply but are used for more chronic conditions while non-luminous generators penetrate more deeply and are used for acute conditions. Infrared radiation has physiological effects like increasing metabolic rate and cutaneous blood flow, and therapeutic effects like reducing pain and increasing joint mobility. New infrared therapies have emerged but proper technique and safety precautions must still be followed to avoid potential dangers like burns.
Management of dr
This document provides information on various techniques for managing diabetic retinopathy (DR), including:
1. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examines retinal and choroidal circulation using fluorescent dye and specialized camera.
2. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) captures high-resolution 3D retinal images, and is highly sensitive in detecting diabetic macular edema (DME).
3. Photocoagulation techniques like pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), grid laser, and focal/modified grid laser are used to treat proliferative DR and DME based on lesion location and extent.
4. Intravitreal injections of steroids like triamcinolone or
Photodynamic therapy technique
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves using a photosensitizing drug and a light source to damage cancer or abnormal tissues. The photosensitizing drug is administered and absorbed by tissues, then activated by exposure to a specific wavelength of light, which causes the drug to produce reactive oxygen species that destroy the targeted cells. PDT can be used to treat a variety of cancers and pre-cancerous conditions depending on the photosensitizing drug and light source used. It offers advantages such as precision targeting and minimal scarring or invasiveness compared to other treatments.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
