What is Cuddle Scan
Cuddle Scan is a continuous temperature monitoring device for
newborns and older children being developed by Medline Robotics. An
infra-red sensor inserted into a soft, adjustable waist band tracks
the child's body temperature continuously and raises an alarm the
moment it moves out of the safe range.
Infants and children up to 3 years have immature thermoregulation -
they lose and gain heat rapidly, cannot shiver effectively, and
cannot tell you when something is wrong. Cuddle Scan watches for
them: hypothermia in newborns, rising fever at night, and the
sudden spikes that precede febrile seizures - with visual and audio
alerts on the device and instant notifications on the parent's
phone.
Why It Matters
Immature Thermoregulation - infants have fewer sweat glands, less muscle and fat, and a large surface-to-volume ratio - so they lose and gain heat far faster than adults.
Spot Checks Miss the Moment - thermometers show one reading at one time. A fever that spikes at 2 AM, or a newborn slipping into hypothermia, can go unnoticed for hours.
Febrile Seizure Risk - 5-10% of Indian children experience fever-related seizures. Early warning of a rising temperature gives parents time to act before the spike.
