A study to determine the efficacy of Embrace Care device against the currently available solutions in maintaining normal body temperature in low-birth-weight babies in a home setting.

A randomized, open-label, active controlled study to determine the efficacy of the Embrace Care in maintaining normothermia (36.5°C to 37.5°C) in low-birth-weight (LBW) neonates (1500 to 2000 grams) as compared to the currently available routine practice of attempting to maintain normothermia in the community setting. - nil

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1)Comparison of the efficacy of Embrace Care in maintaining normothermia (36.5°C to 37.5°C) in LBW neonates (1500 to 2000 grams) against SOC in maintaining normothermia in the community setting. 2)Continued safety of the participants 3)Weight gain velocity across the two study armsTimepoint: 30 DAYS OF STUDY TREATMENT PHASE (DAY 1 TO DAY 30)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
â?¢ % incidence of normothermia across the 2 study arms â?¢% incidence of AE and SAE across the 2 study arms â?¢% increase in weight gain velocity in participants across the two treatment arms.Timepoint: 30 DAYS OF STUDY TREATMENT PHASE (DAY 1 TO DAY 30)
