The goal of the SENSITACT system is to activate an adaptive kinesthetic stimulation to treat apnea-bradycardia events on preterm infants, while minimizing deleterious effects, in particular arousals that can be due either to respiratory efforts or to kinesthetic stimulation itself. This novel system will provide an alternative treatment to apnea-bradycardia, with improved patient comfort and autonomy. In particular, it may become a complementary solution for the current treatments (Manual stimulation by caregivers, continuous or intermittent nasal positive pressure ventilation and methylxanthine therapies) that do not appear to be optimal and usually only allow a partial reduction in the number and severity of apneas.
