Hyderabad- based startup Nemocare aims to Curb Neonatal mortality

Every year, 26 lakh babies die worldwide within 28 days of the birth of which 6.4 lakh are neonatal deaths occurring in India, shows a new UNICEF report. Of this 98 % of deaths are because of prematurity.
Premature babies are subjected to a variety of life-threatening conditions like Apnea and Hypothermia which are the major cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. Because of limited resources and lack of technology in hospitals in this emerging world, there is no continuous monitoring on newly born babies, where the vital signs of Apnea and Hypothermia are unnoticed which leads to the death of the neonates.

 In order to meet that urgent need of improving newborn health and survival, what if you have a smart device that monitors the health of the newborn at a low cost and high accuracy??? Yes!!! A healthcare startup Nemocare is with an aim to control the neonatal mortality.

It created innovative healthcare solutions with help of its life-saving technologies. It believes in simple, scalable and sustainable solutions with proper interventions and can foster further in improving the quality of life of newly born.
Nemocare was founded on July 13, 2017, by Manoj (founder ) who is an engineer and a technologist who takes care on building the hardware and the software, while pratyusha( co-founder ) is the product designer who develops the user research and product design.
