From student project to medical device. 💡➡️🏥

Thank you Omroep Brabant for featuring Bambi among five Eindhoven University of Technology inventions that made it from idea to market, as TU/e celebrates its 70th anniversary.
Turning a prototype into a medical device is not easy. It takes years of clinical work, testing, documentation and close collaboration with clinicians, parents and regulators. Every step is there for one reason: the safety of the smallest patients.
We’re proud of where we are today.

💙 Thank you to our team, our partners and the NICU staff and parents who helped us get here.

Van slimme goaltjes die bij PSV en PSG worden gebruikt tot een kompas die mensen met dementie de weg naar huis wijst. De Technische Universiteit Eindhoven bestaat zeventig jaar en laat deze week tijdens de Dutch Design Week uitvindingen zien die ook echt op de markt zijn gekomen. Dit is de top vijf.

A big thank you to ASML and Máxima MC ❤️

This week, thousands of ASML employees are cycling to work for a great cause, as part of Brainport Bike Week.

For every ride, ASML donates €3 to support scientific research at Máxima MC using the Bambi Belt.
ASML also lit up a heart this week, a beautiful, visible tribute to premature babies, their parents, and the families staying at the nearby Ronald McDonald House.

We're grateful to ASML for this generous initiative, and to the NICU team at Máxima MC for their continued partnership and support.

🚲 Bike on!

Tijdens de Brainport Bike Week laat ASML letterlijk zien dat zij Máxima MC een warm hart toedragen. Met een indrukwekkend verlicht hart op hun campus vragen zij aandacht voor onze gezamenlijke uitdaging: samen zoveel mogelijk fietskilometers verzamelen voor het Máxima MC Fonds.

Dankzij de steun van ASML levert het behalen van deze mijlpaal een extra donatie op voor het Máxima MC Fonds, bestemd voor de Bambi Belt. Daarmee helpen zij mee om de zorg voor onze allerkleinste patiënten nog beter te maken.

Wij zijn trots op deze betrokken samenwerking en bedanken ASML voor hun steun, enthousiasme en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid. Samen laten we zien dat gezondheid, beweging en zorg hand in hand gaan. 💙🚴

💪 Support our run for the smallest fighters

On 15 November we're taking on the Sterke Start Loop in Zevenhuizen, supporting Strong Babies, an organisation dedicated to premature, small, and sick babies and their families.
It's a cause close to our hearts: every day at Bambi, we build technology to help watch over the tiniest patients.

🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Every kilometer we run is for them. Every donation helps fund research and kangaroo care that gives these babies a stronger start.

🩵 Cheer us on by chipping in, every euro counts 🩵

💜 Today, we celebrate International NICU Nurses Day 💜

To the ones who hold the tiniest hands through the biggest fights. Who care for the smallest patients, and their parents too. Who turns a hospital room into the safest place on earth for a premature baby.

At Bambi Medical, our work exists to support yours; because behind every alarm, every reading, every quiet night shift, there is a nurse making sure no change goes unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do.

🩵 9 September is the Dutch National Day of Birth 🩷

A day to both celebrate that most babies are born healthy, and to pause on the fact that this is not always the case.

New research from the national HIPPO study found that more than a third of mothers and about one in six fathers of very premature babies show symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder after birth. The study followed 446 children born before 29 weeks and their parents across all Dutch NICUs.

These numbers are sobering, but they are not surprising to anyone who has spent time in a NICU. Parents often describe the experience in stark terms.

💬 "There were more wires than him." "I felt like a vo**ur, having to ask permission to hold my baby." "They have forgotten I am the mum."

At Bambi Medical, this is the reality we set out to change.

Our wireless Bambi Belt replaces sticky patches and tangled wires with a soft silicone belt, so parents can hold their baby without navigating a maze of cables.
Erasmus MC Sophia Kinderziekenhuis, one of the hospitals behind the HIPPO study, is now introducing the Bambi Belt into their NICU 🏥, with several babies monitored on it simultaneously as part of a planned rollout to 30 babies in total.

This National Day of Birth, we are proud to keep working, together with clinicians and researchers, on removing one of the physical barriers between parents and their babies at one of the hardest moments of their lives.

💚 September is NICU Awareness Month 💚

A time to recognise the challenges faced by premature and critically ill babies and their families worldwide, and to honour every clinician working to make it a little easier for them.

One group faces particular difficulties when it comes to monitoring: babies born before 27 weeks of gestation, whose skin is often too fragile for traditional adhesive electrodes.

Together with Amsterdam UMC and Máxima MC, we are running a study on the wireless Bambi Belt in exactly this population of extremely premature babies. A few months in, both hospitals have shared positive feedback on how the belt performs.

🔬 These are early results from an ongoing study, but they point to something we believe in deeply: even the most vulnerable babies deserve monitoring that doesn't add pain or stress to everything else they're already facing.

Before summer hit, the Bambi team grew by two!

Please join us in welcoming:

🔹 Victoria Kokodiy: Operations Manager

Great to have you both with us on our mission: supporting the smallest and most vulnerable patients through innovative, reliable monitoring solutions.

Welcome aboard! 🎉

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have uncovered a new clue to one of pregnancy's enduring mysteries: what determines when labor begins? In a study published in Science, the investigators found that a molecule best known for its role in cellular metabolism and aging also helps regulate the timing of labor. The findings offer new insight into the causes of preterm birth and point to a potential new therapeutic target.

Parents know the power of music when it comes to lulling a baby to sleep. But for premature newborns, music therapy can unlock a new kind of healing. As experts explain, the tunes can help babies leave the NICU sooner.

The effects of music therapy are immediate - oxygen levels go up, the heart rate slows and babies even stay in the NICU for shorter periods of time. But the benefits go beyond that.

New research has found signs that may help researchers better understand why some babies are born early. Some signs are present as early as the first trimester. These findings provide biological clues that may help researchers and clinicians better understand early birth, and—in the future—develop improved tools to identify pregnancies at higher risk.
