The Project Behind the Chair

Watch the video about how the VELA Neonatal chair was conceptualised during a PhD project at Kolding Sygehus Department of Neonatology.

The chair was developed, in part, based on RCT studies, together with staff and patients at H6 Department of Neonatology at Odense University Hospital (OUH) and P3 Department of Neonatology at Kolding Sygehus Hospital.

Objectives:

  • Increase patient comfort and independence
  • Improve work environment for staff
  • Improve operations at the hospital

Functions of the Chair:

Watch this video about the different settings available. See how these features support workflow through a good standing position, and give parents the best chance of sitting comfortably with their child even for long periods of time.
