We look forward to working with Gabi SmartCare because we see the same passion for providing caregivers with better insight,” says Bogi Palsson, CEO of SleepImage, in a release.
Jonathan Baut, CEO of Gabi SmartCare, adds in a release, “At Gabi SmartCare, our mission is to bring care directly to every child’s doorstep through our real-time, non-invasive monitoring platform, transforming how children are monitored at home. While we are already improving home monitoring today for cardiac and respiratory patients, our broader objective is to integrate any medical technology necessary to ensure that children receive the highest level of care possible. In this context, Gabi is proud to partner with cutting-edge companies like SleepImage that share our commitment to advancing pediatric care.”
