About BABYBE Medical
BABYBE Medical is a German medical technology company founded in 2012, with development activity in Santiago de Chile. The company has developed the BABYBE SYSTEM, a medical device based on soft robotics: a special gel mattress inside the incubator transmits the parents' heartbeat, breathing movements and voice to the premature infant, thereby aiming to enable the physical and emotional bond between parents and child despite incubator treatment. According to the company, a clinical study shows that extremely premature infants gain weight up to 65% faster with BABYBE, which can shorten the hospital stay. The system is CE-certified as a Class 1 medical device. The company was led by its founder and CEO Camilo Anabalón and, according to his profile, was acquired by NATUS.
