The study will be conducted in a convenience sample of 75 infants admitted to the NICU at the Montreal Children's Hospital, divided into 3 phases: (a) Phase 1a - monitoring for 8h per day for 4 consecutive days, (b) Phase 1b - monitoring between 2h to 8h per day for 2 to 4 consecutive days, and (c) Phase 2- monitoring for 96h continuously. Study objectives include: 1. Demonstrate the feasibility of continuous wireless monitoring in term and preterm infants with variable degrees of maturation and acuity in the NICU. 2. Assess safety of using a special wireless sensor system in neonates. 3. Evaluate the accuracy of proposed wireless technology as compared to standard monitoring technology in the NICU.
