HBB Prompt: An Audio-Visual Prompting and Voice Responsive Mobile Application for Newborn Resuscitation Training

FacebookTwitterLinked In

Start Date: 01/01/2018- End Date: 31/12/2019


Project Lead(s): Data Santorino

Birth asphyxia causes up to 1.8 million newborn deaths and stillbirths every year. This global tragedy can be prevented by effectively Helping Babies Breathe at the time of birth. Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) has been shown to reduce newborn mortality by up to 47%. Such mortality impact is however not sustained due to rapid skills deterioration. We propose to improve sustainability of HBB’s impact by increasing skills retention with an innovative mobile application called HBB Prompt.
