Babywatch Infant Tracking, Baby Id and Baby Management Solution

Positive patient identification provides the foundation for patient safety through the systematic prevention of human errors.

Babywatch™ enables caregivers to positively identify the infant when removed or returned to the mother and onnect anything collected from, administered to or performed on that Infant. Not only does the system log that this action has occurred, consequently charting the information, but Babywatch™ also eliminates all possibility of human error in the baby identification process when completing such actions on the baby.
