Presently, in order to check electrolyte levels in newborn babies, blood samples are drawn from the infants twice a day.

Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the PYKRS jacket is being offered in four models. The PYKRS Lite version doesn’t incorporate any electronics, but does feature an […]
