Problem
Traditional infant bassinets in birthing facilities often create barriers for mothers, especially those recovering from C-sections or other complications, hindering their ability to easily reach and care for their newborns. This can lead to increased reliance on nursing staff and reduced opportunities for early bonding and breastfeeding.
Solution
Couplet Care provides an overbed bassinet system designed to improve maternal-infant bonding and optimize clinical workflows in postnatal units. The bassinet's design allows mothers to safely and comfortably access their newborns without needing assistance, promoting maternal autonomy and reducing the risk of infant falls or accidental suffocation. By facilitating easier access for breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, and general newborn care, the Couplet Care bassinet supports improved health outcomes for both mothers and infants. The system also benefits clinical staff by reducing non-medical related calls, allowing them to focus on more critical patient needs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals, birthing centers, and other healthcare facilities seeking to improve the postpartum experience for mothers and newborns, as well as clinicians looking to enhance patient safety and streamline workflows.
