Born into suffering...

Every 25 minutes, a baby is born suffering from opioid withdrawal. Why are these babies addicted so early? In the womb, drugs taken by mothers, prescribed or not, can affect a fetus and inhibit its growth. When the baby is born, there are often many complications, including birth defects, behavioral issues, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), particularly after the baby is removed from their mother. This condition is known as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), which is associated closely with failure to thrive syndrome.

Enter "Fesentience"

Fesentience is dedicated to improving and saving the lives of preemies and babies born by opioid addicts. Using Python programming language and Blender 3D computer graphics software, we are designing and coding an incubator that will involve biomimicry technology to help nurture and protect newborns experiencing neonatal withdrawal.  ​

A Closer Look

Fesentience is looking into existing research regarding NAS, SIDS, and the United States opioid epidemic. By uncovering biological trends in the affected babies, mothers, and surrounding environments, we will be able to code innovative nursing technology that will save the lives of millions.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome

Complications of NAS

Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) occurs when a baby is exposed to drugs while inside the womb. There are two types of this syndrome, prenatal and postnatal. Prenatal NAS occurs when the mother stops ingesting drugs while the fetus is already addicted. Postnatal NAS occurs after birth, when the newborn no longer has access to the drugs that were ingested by the mother.

One of our team members, Cyril King, shared baby photos of himself when he was in the Yale Children's Hospital NICU as a premature baby. He was born on January 16, 2002 weighing less than 5lbs. #digitalhealth #healthtech #MedEd #baby #neonatal
