Elevated software

Software that would definitely prove effective in saving the lives the premature babies is under testing process. Researchers believe that this creation can take neonatal care to a new level. The trial of this IBM software aims at helping the physicians to take better decisions about treatment promptly. It differ form the existing technique where the babies are connected to monitors that indeed offer a variety of data which may be displayed on paper or screen. The major limitation is that the information retrieved by this process is only stored for 24hours before being discarded. But this software can handle a constant stream of physiological readings such as monitoring the heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and oxygen levels in the blood stream. This will eventually reduce the infection in premature babies and will lend hand in saving lives.
