Interventions
The Owlet group will be given an Owlet OSS 3.0 monitor to wear when sleeping. The Owlet alarms if the baby has a very low heart rate or very low oxygen levels. In addition, caregivers in the Owlet group with a smart phone and Wi-Fi access will be able to use an application to monitor the baby's vital signs and sleep state.
