🔹 A newborn bed attached to the postnatal bed, enabling the mother and her newborn to be in continuous contact.
🔹 A wearable pass that communicates care preferences and key information, enabling staff to better respond to individual needs.

🔹 Colour-coded armbands, allowing nurses to easily identify priority patients in crowded waiting rooms.
