Innovatively Speaking: Baby Steps for Preterm Infants

Kevin and Jesse are joined Dorothea Jenkins, M.D., and Bashar Badran, Ph.D., whose device BabyStrong is designed to help enhance feeding behavior in at-risk preterm babies. Every year, complications from preterm birth are the #1 cause of death for babies in the United States. Babies who survive premature birth often have long-term health problems, including cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, chronic lung disease, blindness and hearing loss. Listen in as they discuss their own personal connections to developing this life-altering technology and how this non-invasive technology stimulates the baby’s brain to learn to feed.
