Each year, over 20 million babies worldwide are born with low birth weight, increasing their vulnerability to hypothermia. If not addressed early, hypothermia can lead to poor growth, infections, or even death.

TempWatch by Bempu Health is a bracelet designed for newborns that monitors their temperature continuously for 30 days. The device uses blinking lights to alert parents if the baby's temperature drops, enabling timely intervention through actions such as kangaroo care or breastfeeding.

According to Bempu Health, the device has a 99% sensitivity rate for detecting neonatal hypothermia. It is currently used in 14 countries and has been implemented with over 35,000 newborns.
