Newborn Foundation Resource Hub

BORN Project Data Hub

The BORN Project aims to expand neonatal pulse oximetry screening to different health resource settings and to leverage the flexibilities and effectiveness of mobile app-enabled pulse ox devices and other medical equipment to reduce newborn mortality from the most prevalent and deadly conditions — including pneumonia, sepsis and congenital heart defects. As a result of robust collaboration with clinicians, technologists, and industry and public health officials around the world, the Newborn Foundation has developed this resource hub to house relevant newborn screening literature, screening program implementation guidance, and training materials for health providers, nurses and parents. Please feel free to contact us with further training material requests or questions.
