Sound Matters
Research has confirmed that noise can compromise and complicate a newborn’s well-being and recovery timeline in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The SONICU System is a remarkable sound monitoring, data collection, and advisory system that monitors sound and noise levels in a NICU. SONICU provides empirical data and visual cues that will empower staff and facilitate control over activities to maintain an optimum sound and noise level environment for patients.
The SONICU System was inspired by the inventor’s own experience with his newborn son in a NICU. SONICU has been designed to facilitate compliance with developing sound and noise control standards in NICUs, and can be easily reconfigured as those standards evolve.
The unique flexibility of the SONICU System allows for layouts to meet clients’ specific needs, and ensures future system expansion is easy and cost-effective.
Key features of the SONICU System include:
- Simplicity of design – Aesthetically pleasing design blends with surroundings
- Reliability – Solid-state electronics and standard “open-source” software
- Ease of use – User installed and user configured to meet individual site needs
- Fully documented with easy to understand instructions
- 24 × 7 technical support available
