| Abstract: | An instrument which monitors and records certain behaviors of the neonate is described. By means of an air-inflated mattress and pressure transducer, the instrument measures whole-body movement. By means of a crib-located microphone, the device measures vocalizations. In addition, the presence and activity of nurse or observer are also monitored and recorded as part of the complete record. Except for the mattress and transducers, the monitor is completely self-contained, even including in its 8½-in.-high x 19-in.-wide size a 10-channel event recorder. |
