How the Care of Premature Babies has Evolved: Introductory Blog Post
Zoey B -
My name is Zoey and I am a senior in high school. I am working on a senior project where I will be researching the history of neonatal technology. My goal for this project is to learn about how these technologies have evolved throughout the past century and to see how they are being used today. I will be observing how babies are cared for when they are first born and when they are born premature during my internship at The Family Birthing Center. I also plan on evaluating how these technologies affect the mental and physical health of premature babies by interviewing families that have had a premature child or were premature themselves. I hope that by interviewing families that have gone through this experience, I will gain more insight into the real life applications of my research, and see if there is a correlation between being born premature and having physical and mental health issues. By interviewing multiple families from different decades, I hope to gain insight on how technology has changed throughout the years as well. Below is a link to the Family Birthing Center’s website, where I will be completing my internship.
