Two sensors. A world of difference.

neoGuard might look simple, but behind its ease of use is a powerful combination of smart design, advanced algorithms, and cutting-edge sensor technology.

Just two sensors unlock continuous tracking of four critical vitals, giving nurses real-time insights without the need for bulky machines, stable power, or WiFi.

Because simplicity isn’t just convenient, it’s essential when lives are on the line.

Where life-saving tech meets dedicated hands.

At Tabaka Mission Hospital, it’s not just about having the right tools, it’s about the people who put them to work. Our team recently visited for training and follow-up, partnering closely with the staff to ensure neoGuard is not just deployed, but deeply integrated into everyday care.

Every screen tap, every conversation, every patient wrapped in care, it all adds up to better outcomes. We’re proud to work side by side with the brilliant clinical teams making this impact real, one ward at a time.

There’s something powerful about the way a caregiver looks at a newborn in their arms.
It’s more than care. It’s commitment.

With neoGuard supporting him, this provider can keep a closer eye on her tiniest patient, without ever losing that connection.

Because at the end of the day, technology should never replace the human touch. It should protect it.

Care is powerful.
And so is connection.

When nurses have the right tools, it’s not just vitals they’re monitoring, it’s peace of mind they’re delivering.

neoGuard helps bridge the gap between care and capacity, especially in units stretched thin. And when it fits seamlessly into a nurse’s hands and a baby’s journey, that’s when the magic happens.

Every life is worth fighting for.
Every hour of care, every moment of monitoring, matters.

These tiny warriors may not weigh much, but they carry so much strength. And with tools designed for their environment, they’re getting a better chance at the start they deserve.

This is why we do what we do.

Training in action

Every Neopenda deployment comes with more than just devices, it comes with real partnership.

Here at Tabaka Mission Hospital, our team is working side by side with healthcare workers to ensure neoGuard becomes a meaningful part of their care routines. From hands-on setup to tablet training, we’re equipping providers with the tools, and confidence, they need to make the most of the tech.

Because successful implementation isn’t about dropping off a product. It’s about building relationships, solving problems together, and growing trust over time.

We’re proud to keep showing up, one facility at a time.

Designed for nurses.
Built for newborns.
Tested where it matters most.

neoGuard isn’t just a medical device, it’s a tool created hand-in-hand with the health workers who use it every day. With one button, it powers on. With one tap, it begins monitoring. No cords. No confusion.

Because in a ward where a single nurse is managing 30 patients, every second counts, and every feature should earn its place.

Behind every neoGuard is a nurse who shows up, day and night, no matter what.

These incredible frontline workers are the heartbeat of neonatal care. They’re the ones responding to every beep, comforting every parent, and making split-second decisions with limited resources and limitless compassion.

At Neopenda, we’re not here to replace that human touch. We’re here to support it, with tools built to make their jobs just a little easier, and their impact even greater.

Because when we invest in nurses, we invest in better outcomes for all.

Every baby matters.

This little one is wrapped in care, and in a quiet revolution.
neoGuard is more than a device. It’s a promise that no baby should go unnoticed, simply because they were born in a place with fewer resources.

Continuous vital signs monitoring means early signs of distress don’t get missed. It means nurses can focus on care, not counting heartbeats by hand. It means families can breathe a little easier.

We’re building a world where being born in a low-resource setting doesn’t mean having fewer chances to survive.

Every mom deserves to know her baby is in good hands.
At Neopenda, we believe in building trust through transparency, and that starts with bringing caregivers into the loop.

Here, a nurse walks a new mother through her baby’s vitals using neoGuard’s live dashboard. One glance shows that everything’s stable. One conversation brings peace of mind.

When technology supports not just patients, but families, that’s when it really makes a difference.

45+ hospitals. 5 countries. Thousands of babies monitored.

But behind every data point is a real moment like this, where a nurse, a baby, and a simple device come together to make care just a little safer.

neoGuard was built for settings just like this: where internet is spotty, power is unreliable, and one nurse might be caring for many little lives at once. It’s small, but it changes everything.

We're here to back the health workers making it all happen.
One baby. One ward. One hospital at a time.
