It is dedicated to developing innovative, highly accurate, accessible, and affordable monitoring solutions for emerging markets. This helps in bringing down mortality and morbidity rates. Design thinking principles have been utilized by NemoCare to build life-saving technologies.

NemoCare Raksha is an unobtrusive wireless wearable device with sensors, networks, analytical algorithms and big data as tools to provide high resolution and continuous preventive care. It can be used in hospitals as well as homes. It is an AI powered decision support system. The new-born is made to wear the solution based device that keeps on monitoring the parameters and successfully detects distress in health conditions. This diagnostic tool is wirelessly connected to a central platform which helps nurses monitor conditions of the baby and get alert signals if any so that immediate action can be taken. It is a portable device and can be used while travelling as well. No expertise in its usage is required.
