Globally, about 1 million newborns die each year within 24 hours of birth—and 80% of those deaths are due to preventable causes. NeoNatalie is a simulator that supports training in resuscitation during the first 10 minutes of life. NeoNatalie can be inflated with air or water. A pump can be attached to simulate a pulse or breathing. The chest rises with chest compressions, which produce a “click” when done correctly. NeoNatalie can also cry. Since 2010, the simulator kit has been rolled out to 80 countries, training more than 1 million healthcare workers.
