Skincubator: Revolutionary Device Lets Parents Practice Skin-to-Skin Contact With Preterm Newborns
Preterm infants benefit greatly from skin-to-skin contact with their parents which is often prevented by incubators used in hospitals.

Why it's good news: It allows parents to provide their preterm infants with a crucial form of care that was previously denied them due to medical equipment.
