Summary

The goal of this observational study is to develop methods that could provide continual monitoring of comfort levels for preterm neonates in hospitals.

Detailed description

As preterm neonates have not developed ways to communicate how they are feeling like children or adults do, clinicians must rely on their own understanding and professional judgements to decide how comfortable they are. It is known that preterm neonates can display emotion through ways such as facial expressions, body movements and changes in their physiology such as heart rate. The investigators will record both behavioural (audiovisual) and physiologic (heart rate, blood oxygen saturation) signals during routine clinical procedures ranging from comforting, through discomforting to painful that are necessary as part of high-quality medical care.
