Device Performance and Parental Perception of the Skincubator 2.0, a Wearable Device to Support Prolonged Skin-to-Skin Care for Preterm Infants

The authors aimed to evaluate the performance of the Skincubator 2.0, a wearable device designed to facilitate prolonged skin-to-skin care (SSC) for preterm infants, and to assess parental satisfaction with its use compared to traditional SSC methods. The study found high success rates for transferring infants using the device and reported that parents expressed greater satisfaction with the safety and convenience of the Skincubator compared to traditional SSC. Overall, the Skincubator appears to effectively support longer SSC sessions while addressing safety concerns for both infants and parents.
