Published in Elsevier Medical Hypotheses, this article proposes and supports the use of HeRO to aid in determining oxygen saturation targets for a specific patient's needs at that time. Bringing the right therapeutic oxygen to the patient to minimize the risk of morbidity and mortality.
A New Approach - HeRO and Oxygen Targeting The utility of HeRO continues to grow. This publication demonstrates a strategy of using HeRO to assess risks of low and high oxygen saturation targets. This study suggests a "novel therapeutic approach to supplemental oxygen delivery in the NICU."
At the recently concluded Pediatric Academics Society Annual Conference in San Francisco, there were multiple abstracts presented about the HeRO System.

In the August 2016 issue of Neonatology today, the University of California San Diego talks about the addition of HeRO to their unit. Read for More.
A trio of new publications regarding HeRO hits the press. HeRO Publications lists the HeRO bibliography.
Further evidence of the effectiveness of HeRO is published in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring: Complex signals bioinformatics: evaluation of heart rate characteristics monitoring as a novel risk marker for neonatal sepsis.
MPSC announces that Dr. Stefan Maxwell, a long-time neonatologist user of HeRO, has published an article in Neonatology Today telling his experiences with HeRO. Neonatology Today HeRO article
