OUR MISSION

Every year, 800.000 babies are born extremely preterm (<28 weeks of age) worldwide. These infants are usually transferred to an air-based neonatal intensive care unit to support their heart and lung development. Exposure to air, however, leads to many complications, because the lungs are not fully developed yet.

In cooperation with our partners, we develop a novel, alternative environment, more similar to the mother’s womb. Extremely premature babies would be transferred to an environment where the lungs remain filled with fluid and the umbilical cord will be attached to an artificial placenta to improve their organ development and ease the transition to newborn life. Our mission is to improve neonatal healthcare with our products.

GAMBLING RISK AWARENESS FOR FAMILIES

Periods of pregnancy, childbirth and neonatal rehabilitation can be emotionally demanding for the entire family. During this time, it is especially important to approach gambling responsibly and to understand the possible risks associated with casino games, slots, poker and other forms of gambling.

Gambling should always remain a form of entertainment and should never interfere with family responsibilities, medical expenses or everyday financial needs. Setting clear spending and time limits can help prevent gambling from becoming a source of additional stress during an already sensitive period for parents and relatives.

Families should avoid using money intended for healthcare, household expenses or childcare for gambling. Trying to recover previous losses by increasing bets can create additional financial and emotional pressure and should be avoided.

Gambling is intended only for adults of legal gambling age. Children and teenagers should not be given access to gambling accounts, casino applications or payment methods connected with gambling services. Parents are encouraged to keep gambling activities separate from children and to use appropriate account and device protections.

If gambling begins to cause financial difficulties, anxiety, conflict within the family, loss of control or excessive time spent playing, it is important to stop and seek professional support. Family wellbeing, healthcare and the needs of the child should always remain the priority.
