The future of neonatal care is constant human connection.

We are developing the ecosystem that enables it.

Skincubator Neocare creates breakthrough technologies that enable zero separation—from delivery to discharge—for even the most fragile preterm infants.

Despite overwhelming research, separation is still the norm

Separation in the NICU causes stress and phsiological instability, which in turn cause short and long-term complications for both infants, mothers and partners, increases the burden on staff and costs for health systems.

Meet Skincubator

The world's first and only wearable incubator, designed for the tiniest preterm infants in their first days and weeks of life.

It enables complete skin-to-skin care, while addressing key clinical, technical and behavioral challenges in the Neonatal ICU.

The Solution

The Challenge

Separation in the NICU is the norm, when EVERYONE agrees it is a problem.

15M

Preterm infants born annualy around the world

8+ hours

Reccomended skin-to-skin care each day by WHO and clinical guidelines

<30 min.

Average / day of skin-to-skin care in most neonatal ICUs around the world today.

+$26B

Cost of preterm-related complications in the US alone

Barriers to Connection

Common Barriers to Skin-to-skin Care

Over three years of research, we've mapped over 100 barriers to skin-to-skin care.

Learn about the Challenges

Built for small, fragile babies
and everyone who cares for them.

Our rigorous, iterative, design process included hands-on and in-depth feedback from hundreds of stakeholders. The result: a holistic solution that addresses the needs and concerns of everyone involved.

Parents

Play an essential role in care, while feeling connected, confident, and safe.

Clinicians

Enable immediate, prolonged skin-to-skin without compromising care.

Medical Directors

Implement a safer, scalable standard for skin-to-skin care across the unit.

Payers

Reduce costs through fewer complications and better long-term outcomes.

Working With Medical Centers Around the World

We are proud to develop and study our solutions with leading researchers, teams and medical centers from around the world, spanning the US, Europe, Australia and others.
