Neonatal Innovation in India

Acuity NeoRes

Intelligent Tech-Enabled
Neonatal Resuscitation

The first device in the world to turn live vital signs into guided clinical action — delivering real-time, step-by-step resuscitation support at the bedside.

The Problem

India loses a newborn to birth asphyxia
every few minutes

In neonatal resuscitation, the first 60 seconds after birth — known as the Golden Minute — are critical. Effective resuscitation must begin within this window to prevent brain injury and death. Every second of delay matters.

Delivery room chaos
With fewer than 4,000 trained neonatologists for 25 million births — most Tier 2/3 and rural deliveries happen without a neonatologist present
Resuscitation falls to NRP-trained nurses, paediatricians and junior doctors — with variable competency and no real-time bedside guidance at the critical moment
Even formally trained staff lose resuscitation competence within 3–6 months without reinforcement — it is a high-stakes, low-frequency skill
Facilities with the highest burden of at-risk births often have the weakest neonatal workforce and zero point-of-care clinical decision support
Connect

Acuity NeoRes Monitor connects
to the baby within seconds

One probe. Instant vitals. The Acuity monitor captures SpO₂, heart rate and temperature in real time — no complex setup required.

Full resuscitation guidance works without internet — critical for rural and low-resource settings
Live Vitals

Vitals stream live to the app — instantly

The moment the probe connects, SpO₂, heart rate and temperature appear on screen. The app shows the expected SpO₂ target for every minute of life — so the team always knows if the baby is on track.

Hands-Free Voice Guidance
Acuity NeoRes speaks the next step aloud, updated in real time as vitals change. Minimal to no screen interaction required — the team keeps their eyes on the baby, not the screen.

PPV Guidance

HR below 100 —
app guides PPV instantly

When heart rate is below 100, Acuity NeoRes prompts PPV immediately. Step-by-step guidance appears on screen — mask position, ventilation rate, chest rise assessment. SpO₂ minute targets guide oxygen titration in parallel. Even a nurse with basic training can now act correctly under pressure.

PPV prompted when HR falls below 100 bpm — as per NRP protocol
SpO₂ minute-by-minute targets guide oxygen titration alongside PPV
Step-by-step PPV instructions — no protocol memorisation needed under stress
Evidence-based — aligned with AHA/AAP NRP 2025 and IAP NRP standards
CPR Guidance

Heart rate critical —
app escalates to CPR immediately

When HR falls below 60 bpm, Acuity NeoRes escalates instantly. It prompts chest compressions, maintains the 3:1 ratio timer, and tracks epinephrine timing — the app provides the structured guidance that makes every second count.

The baby responds.

With guided resuscitation, the team stays calm and acts correctly at every step. The baby recovers — because they were never alone.

Smart Reminders

Acuity NeoRes doesn't stop at resuscitation —
it keeps watching.

Automated reminders prompt nurses to check blood sugar, initiate first feed, and complete post-birth care. Nothing is missed in the critical first hours of life.

Designed for global
healthcare priorities

National Health Mission
Directly addresses NHM's objective of reducing preventable neonatal deaths through improved skilled birth attendance and early newborn care at government facilities.
India Newborn Action Plan
Addresses the last-mile gap — skilled guidance at the point of delivery regardless of specialist availability, precisely the settings targeted by NSSK and INAP.
Clinical Standards
Every prompt is evidence-based, drawn from IAP, NNF and AIIMS neonatal resuscitation standards — calibrated to live patient data.
Make in India
Designed, developed and manufactured in India — purpose-built for Tier 2/3 NICUs, government SNCUs and district delivery hospitals across the country.
Built Where It's Needed Most
Designed for settings where specialist neonatal support is scarce or unavailable — district hospitals, government SNCUs and rural delivery rooms worldwide. Offline capable, minimal setup, works for any NRP-trained professional.
WHO Sustainable Development Goal 3.2
SDG 3.2 targets reducing neonatal mortality to 12 per 1,000 live births by 2030. Acuity NeoRes directly supports this goal by addressing preventable intrapartum-related deaths through structured, evidence-based resuscitation at the point of delivery.
Global Need
An estimated 2.4 million neonatal deaths occur globally every year — the majority in low and middle income countries where neonatal specialist support is unavailable at delivery. Acuity NeoRes is designed to address this gap wherever it exists — across Asia, Africa and beyond — supporting any NRP-trained healthcare professional at the bedside, regardless of setting or resource level.
