Babywatch

About

Babywatch is the one and only infant identification management system that provides hospitals and families with absolute peace of mind with regard to newborn identification through a fail-safe tracking system.

Babywatch is a wristband barcode system which works in conjunction with mobile hand-held PDA scanners which together track, verify, monitor and log all actions and procedures involving newborns during their stay in hospital: from BIRTH to DISCHARGE or TRANSFER to another hospital. Positive patient identification provides the foundation for patient safety through the systematic prevention of human errors.

Babywatch enables caregivers to positively identify the infant when removed or returned to the mother and connect anything collected from, administered to or performed on that Infant. Not only does the system log that this action has occurred, consequently charting the information, but Babywatch also eliminates all possibility of human error in the baby identification process when completing such actions on the baby. Through a unique dual checking system, Babywatch acts as a ?second pair of eyes?, ensuring that the correct baby is in fact with the right mother, or the right baby is drinking the right expressed breast milk for example, thus totally eradicating errors.
