Our research

Our overall vision is to use data, best practice and evidence to improve newborn care in low resource settings (from tertiary hospitals through to rural health clinics) to improve survival and equitable access to universal care.

Our approach combines behavioural and implementation science, health economics, and quantitative analysis of clinical outcome data, to:

• Explore barriers and enablers to improving care and implementing the Neotree platform
• Refine and optimise the functionality of the Neotree platform
• Optimise scale up and sustainability

Thus creating a digital learning health system for newborn care.

The Neotree system is a horizontal intervention which aims to comprehensively address the full range of newborn disorders, as opposed to being disease-specific. It is readily adaptable to local context – clinical, demographic and technology. For example, It has, and can be readily adapted to, incorporate new disease trends in outbreak situations, such as COVID-19.

Over £11M in R&D funding, 25+ peer-reviewed publications, international speaking engagements, and broad national media coverage attest to Neotree’s proven platform using real-world data, which has also been recognised with digital health innovation awards.
